Lord's has long been seen as the 'Home of Cricket'
and the game's spiritual 'headquarters'. But its importance is not
merely historical. In practice it remains, to this day, perhaps the most
important single place in world cricket.
Its owner, Marylebone Cricket Club, remains the guardian of both the Laws and the Spirit of Cricket, and MCC sides (which play around 500 games a year) perform a key role in promoting cricket - in Britain and elsewhere.
Above all, Lord's is the setting for some of the best cricket in the world. It hosts Investec Test matches and NatWest-sponsored One Day Internationals plus most of Middlesex's home games, some historic fixtures (such as Oxford v Cambridge) and the Village Cup final.
