History
The stadium hosted Sri Lanka's first Test, against England in 1982.[4] In 1985, Sri Lanka won their first Test match at this ground, against India.[5]
The ground regularly hosted international matches until 1994, but that was followed by an eight-year lull. In 2002, the ground was used as neutral soil for an Australia vs Pakistan Test Series. The stadium has hosted 15 Test matches, 12 ODIs and one T20I.
It is a relatively small ground, half surrounded by lower-level stands and half by grass banks. The most famous feature is the ivy-covered scoreboard.
