The Kia Oval, is one of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world. Established in 1845, it boasts a rich history and has been the venue for numerous historic matches, including the first-ever Test match on English soil in 1880. Renowned for its unique gasholder backdrop and its lush, meticulously maintained pitch, the Kia Oval combines traditional charm with modern facilities, offering an exceptional experience for both players and spectators. As the home ground of Surrey County Cricket Club, it continues to be a premier destination for cricket enthusiasts, hosting international fixtures, domestic competitions, and a variety of community events throughout the year.
From 17 - 21 June, England will face New Zealand in the second Test of their series, marking the first time The Oval hosts a Test in June. The last time the sides met in a Test series was in 2021, when New Zealand won the 2- match series 1-0.
