First laid out in 1885, and the subject of a more recent multi-million pound development programme, Trent Bridge is a small ground by Indian standards with a capacity of around 4,500.

For the inveterate tourist, the region is famous as the final resting place of Princess Diana, who was buried on the Spencer family estate at Althorp Park.

This time round, the ground will play host to defending champions Sri Lanka, which will be based here during its pre-tournament warm-up phase.
