Test cricket is the longest and most traditional format of the sport, played over five days between international teams. Each series typically consists of multiple matches, with teams competing both at home and abroad for global ranking points and national pride.
In London, iconic venues like Lord’s Cricket Ground and The Kia Oval host England’s Test matches every summer, drawing sell-out crowds and international visitors. These fixtures form the backbone of England’s cricket calendar, featuring intense rivalries such as The Ashes against Australia and key contests against India, South Africa, and New Zealand.
