The Home of Cricket – that best describes the Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. Owned by the Marylebone Cricket Club, the Lord’s Cricket Ground has also been termed as the ‘Mecca of Cricket’ by worshippers of the game of cricket. Playing at Lord’s, let alone scoring a century or taking a hat trick there, would be every cricketers aspiration. A venue with so much history attached to it, the Lord’s Cricket Ground has served as home to the England Cricket Board, and until recently the ICC. Although considered a heritage site by many, the Lord’s Cricket Ground adapted to changing times, and came up with a new media centre earlier in the decade of 2000s. With so much history attached to it, it was but obvious that the Lord’s Cricket Ground would contain a museum in its premises – it houses the oldest sports museum in the world, and on display are some of the finest cricketing treasures, including ‘The Ashes’ and equipment used by Sir Don Bradman. When authorities decided to relay the outfield, they put up blocks of the turf for sale, and ardent worshippers of the game lapped up the pieces of turf.
