The Vidharba Cricket Association Ground is a Test cricket ground in the city of Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. The ground is known as the VCA Ground. The first match was played here on October 3, 1969. The ground has been selected to host 2011 Cricket World Cup matches.
It is one of the two grounds where play was called off due to dangerous pitch conditions.
