History
The first recorded match on the ground dates back to 1879 when Aberdeen University played Edinburgh University. The first first-class match to be held on the ground came in 1930 when Scotland played Ireland national cricket team. The ground has been host to many great cricketing names over the years, most notably Sir Donald Bradman, who scored his last century on British soil at the ground in 1948.
The ground has played host to 11 first-class matches, the last of which came in July 2013 when Scotland beat Kenya in the 2011–2013 ICC Intercontinental Cup.
The ground has also played host to 22 One Day Internationals (ODI), the first of which came in the 2008 Associates Tri-Series in Scotland when Ireland played New Zealand. The most recent ODIs staged were in August 2022 when the venue hosted the 15th round of the 2019–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2.[1]
It was selected to host Scotland's World Cricket League and Intercontinental Cup matches in August 2016.[2] In May 2019, the International Cricket Council (ICC) named it as the venue for the opening round of fixtures of the 2019–22 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 tournament.[3]
