The BAA Ground (Burma Athletic Association Ground) was a cricket ground in Rangoon, Burma (today Yangon, Myanmar). The first and only recorded match on the ground came in 1927 when Burma played its only first-class match against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club.[1] The match ended in a heavy defeat for Burma.[2] Cricket in Burma (which was at the time administered as part of the British Raj) was a mainly British affair, with the game played by British officials. With Burmese independence in 1948, cricket became largely extinct in the country, and The BAA Ground was renamed as Bogyoke Aung San Stadium.[3]
