Why is Lord's special?
Lord's Cricket Ground in London is globally recognised as the spiritual home of cricket. It's owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and has hosted countless historic matches since 1814. For women's cricket, playing a Test match there, 50 years after the first women's game at the venue, marks a significant milestone.
