Got me one of those that I can walk to from my home - only played on it a couple of times though.  Moved here after my daughter was born, and my rec league cricket was done since then.  Tempted to resurrect it at times when I see folks playing, but its probably good that I can't make it work.

I do not think any Test matches have been played in North America   … There may have been LOIs played in places like Toronto (ON) and Lauderhill (FL).

Was living 10 KMs away from Motera, Ahmedabad till a couple of months back.

 

Now temporarily living right behind the Tau Devilal Sports Complex in Gurgaon, (around 40 kms from Kotla). The cricket stadium here used to host women's international and ICL matches back in the pre-IPL days. Also hosted Ranji matches but it's now in a completely dilapidated condition. Total waste of very good infrastructure.

cue some rando fan man-splaining about the first ever international cricket match between USA-Canada.  

 

Btw, crossed over to your side of the border this past week for a day - visiting Niagara dhaam, first time for my 5 year old, met up some of wifey's Toronto based friends.  Is Niagara some sort of poor man's Vegas type destination for the local canadians?
