Scorers is a cricket ground in Shirley, Solihull that is the home of Moseley Cricket Club, who played their first recorded match on the ground in 1956.[1] [2]
Scorers has hosted Warwickshire County Cricket Club Second XI matches since 1972.[3] [4] [5] A game apiece in the 1979, 1982 and 1986 ICC Trophy tournaments were held at the ground.[6]
The ground hosted Division Seven of the inaugural Women's Twenty20 Cup in 2009, and the Midlands and North Division Three of the 2010 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[7] It also hosted Warwickshire Women matches between 2010 and 2015.[8]
The ground hosted its first international matches on 8 July 2013, with two Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is) between Ireland and Pakistan, both won by Pakistan.[9] The ground hosted its first Women's One Day International two days later, between the same sides, again won by Pakistan.[10] The ground went on to host three WT20Is between Ireland and South Africa in September 2014.[9]
In July 2023, the ground played host to its first Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy match, between Central Sparks and Western Storm, although the match was abandoned (with a toss).[8] [11]
