Since 2013, it has been known as Emirates Old Trafford due to a sponsorship agreement with Emirates. Old Trafford is England's second oldest Test place after The Oval and played the first Ashes Test in England in July 1884. Cricket World Cup venue five times (1975, 1979, 1983, 1999 and 2019). Old Trafford holds the record for both World Cup matches held (17) and most semi-finals held (5). In 1956, the first 10-wicket haul in a single innings was achieved by England bowler Jim Laker, who reached bowling figures of 19 wickets for a 90-run bowling record that is unmatched in Test and first-class cricket. In the 1993 Ashes Test at Old Trafford, leg-spinner Shane Warne bowled Mike Gatting with a ball of the century. In 2020, the land was used as one of two biosecretary places, along with the Ageas Bowl, for tours involving the West Indies and Pakistan that were regulated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite its rich history of cricket, the venue was seen as a dilapidated and lost Test state in 2009. Extensive land redevelopment to increase capacity and upgrade facilities began shortly thereafter in an attempt to protect international cricket on the ground. The development has led to the restoration of the pavilion and the creation of a point, a 12 million pound stand overlooking the field. The pitch at Old Trafford has historically been the fastest in England but will take a spin later in the game. The history of the Early History site was first used as a cricket ground in 1857 when the Manchester Cricket Club moved to the meadows of the estate de Trafford. Despite the construction of a large pavilion (for amateurs - professionals used a barn at the opposite end of the earth), the early years of Old Trafford were rocky: accessible only on the footpath from the railway station, the land was located in the country, and only attracted small crowds. It was not until the Rose match of 1875 that a significant number took part in the game. When W.G. Grace brought Gloucestershire in 1878, Old Trafford saw 28,000 spectators in three days, and this caused improvements in access and facilities. In 1884, Old Trafford became the second English stadium after the Oval to play Test cricket, with England drawing with Australia on the first day due to rain. The extension of the soil followed during the next decade, and in 1894 it was decided to build a new pavilion. The land was purchased directly from de Trafford in 1898, for 24,372 euros, as the number of spectators increased, and more than 50,000 spectators attended the Test match of 1899. In 1902, The Australian Victor Trumper hit a hundred before dinner on the first day; Australia won the Test by three runs - the third highest Test result in history. Crowds fell in the early 20th century and the land was closed during World War I; however, after the conflict, the crowd reached new heights. Investments have followed throughout the inter-head period, and during this time Lancashire has endured its most successful run to date, winning four league titles in five years. During World War II, Old Trafford was used as a transit camp for troops returning from Dunkirk and as a supply depot. In December 1940, bombs hit the ground, damaging or destroying several stands. Despite this damage, and the failure of the appeal to raise funds for repair-cricket resumed quickly after the war, with German PoWs paid a small salary to prepare the land. The Test victory between England and Australia in August 1945 proved extremely popular, with 76,463 seeing it in three days. After World War II, differences of opinion between the club's committee and the players led to poor form in the 1950s and early 1960s; this therefore saw the gates of money fall, and the lack of investment. However, the situation changed after 1964 and the first Indoor Cricket Centre was opened in 1969. In 1956, Jim Laker became the first man to take all 10 wickets in an innings of a Test match, reaching 10 for 53 in the fourth Test against Australia (the only other bowler to take all 10 wickets in an innings was Anil Kumble of India in 1999). Also taken 9 for 37 in the first inning, Laker finished the match with a record-breaking 19-for-90 that remains unbeaten to this day. On 1 May 1963, the first ever cricket match was held at Old Trafford, at the Gillette Cup. Lancashire beat Leicestershire in pre-knockout games as the 16th and 17th finishers in the Championship last year to decide who will fill 16th place in the one-day competition. After Lancashire's reign, as one-day champions in a reconstruction and replacement programme was launched in 1981. This changed the face of the earth to such an extent that now only the pavilion is recognizable to a visitor who last watched or played a game in, say, the early 1980s. In 1981, Ian Botham hit 118, including six sixes (the second highest number in ashes innings), which he called one of the three innings I wanted to tell my grandchildren about. In 1990, Sachin Tendulkar scored his first Test hundred at the age of 17, becoming the second youngest centurion to help India draw. Shane Warne scored for Mike Gatting in 1993. In the same game, Graham Gooch was out handling the ball for a 133-only sixth of nine times it has ever happened. In 1995, Dominic Cork scored a hat-trick for England against the West Indies. In 2000, Mike Atherton and Alec Stewart played their 100th Tests against the West Indies. In the third Test of the 2005 Ashes series, the match ended in a draw and 10,000 fans were shut out of the ground on the final day as tickets were sold out. England went on to win a series of recovering ashes for the first time since 1986/87.
