History.
After the 2004 tsunami the Surrey County Cricket Club in England and the Sri Lanka Cricket Board combined to raise money to build a village for some of the Sri Lankan survivors. A Twenty20 match played by international cricketers at Surrey's home ground, The Oval, on 20 June 2005, raised about a million pounds for the project. An area was cleared of forest, and a village, called Surrey Village, was laid out with streets named after Surrey cricketers. Then the cricket ground was constructed.
The ground was officially opened in May 2011. Since then matches in various Sri Lankan domestic men's, women's and junior competitions have been played there, as well as matches by touring clubs from overseas.
The first first-class match was between Badureliya Sports Club, who have made this their home ground, and Moors Sports Club in February 2012. The first List A match was between Ragama Cricket Club and Sri Lanka Air Force Sports Club in December 2013.
The highest score is 342 by Minod Bhanuka for Sinhalese Sports Club against Badureliya Sports Club in January 2016. The best bowling figures are 7 for 46 by Gayan Sirisoma for Badureliya against Sri Lanka Air Force Sports Club in February 2015.
