About About the place

Asgiriya Stadium is a cricket ground located in Kandy, Sri Lanka, nestled amidst the Hunnasgiri mountains. Uniquely, it is owned and maintained by Trinity College, Kandy, making it the only Test class cricket stadium in the world with such ownership. While it once hosted international matches, it now primarily serves as a venue for school cricket and other local sporting events. The stadium offers picturesque views and a glimpse into the history of Sri Lankan cricket, though facilities are considered less modern than newer grounds like Pallekele.

Best season
