IND vs AFG: Mullanpur becomes India’s 31st test cricket venue, not so many even if Pakistan-Australia combined

by

Test cricket was organized for the first time with the India-Afghanistan match at Mullanpur Stadium in New Chandigarh. In this way, Mullanpur has become the 31st Test venue of India to host a Test match.

There are 12 venues in West Indies, 11 in South Africa and 10 in England. (Photo: Getty Images)The first Test match was played in India in 1933, when India and England clashed in Bombay Gymkhana. But if we talk about active Test venue, the oldest one is Eden Gardens of Kolkata, where the first Test was played in 1934. (Photo: PTI)
