In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on the Test cricket’s neutral venues and the matches they hosted.
When the ICC was founded in 1909, the committee also drew up their first ever FTP. That featured a triangular Test tournament as well, to be played in England every four years. The first edition, played in 1912, spanned nine Tests between the three Test-playing teams in a triple-round-robin league. The three Australia-South Africa matches were the Test cricket’s first ever games at neutral venues.

And then, there have been the games in the multi-nation tournaments, most famously the World Test Championship finals.
