The Mission Road Ground or Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground is a multi-purpose sports field on Tin Kwong Road [yue] in Kau Pui Lung, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The ground is mainly used for cricket matches. It was opened in 1976, and the first cricket match played there was between a Hong Kong XI and the Queensland Colts.[1]
History
In November 2015 the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that it had approved the ground as venue for holding One Day International (ODI) matches,[2] the venue thus became the first international cricket venue in East Asia and China.[clarify]
On 26 January 2016, the ground hosted its first ODI when Hong Kong played against Scotland in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.[3] A second scheduled ODI was washed out.[4] On the two following days, the first two Twenty20 Internationals at the ground were played, between the same teams.[5]
In February 2020, Interport Series was scheduled to be played at this venue but was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic in China.[clarify][6][7] The series was then moved to Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur.[8]
