BULAWAYO ATHLETIC CLUB

'Bulawayo Athletic Club' is the name of a cricket club that competes in Zimbabwe's National League competition. More importantly, it is also the name given to the club's ground.
The ground has hosted a single Test match against New Zealand in November 1992. It was thus the second venue in Zimbabwe to host a Test match. A One-day International was played there just prior to the Test. It can hold over 12,000 spectators.
The Test match was hit by poor weather, poor attendances and a poor wicket. Along with these factors, the local cricket administrators believed that nearby Queens Sports Club had better potential as an international venue. Therefore, when Test cricket was next played in Bulawayo, it was at that venue instead.
