It is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club and has been used for Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODI) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20I). The first Test match on the ground was played between England and Australia in 1902, the first ODI in 1962, again between England and Australia, and the first T20I in 2010 between Australia and Pakistan. ^[1] The ground has hosted four Women's Test matches – the first of which was played between England and Australia in 1963 – one Women's One Day International and one Women's Twenty20 International. ^[2]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") ^{[3] [4]} refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings, which is regarded as a notable achievement. ^[5]
