History
Established prior to 1924, the ground first played host to first-class cricket in December 1924 when Rhodesia played SB Joel's XI.[1] Rhodesia next played first-class cricket there against Transvaal in March 1928, while only a single first-class match was played there in the 1930s when Rhodesia played the touring Australians.[1] Four further first-class matches were played there in the later 1940s, with the last seeing Rhodesia play the touring Marylebone Cricket Club in January 1949.[1] No cricket is recorded as having been played there since this match.
