Explanation

The first international cricket match was indeed played between Canada and the USA in 1844, decades before the first official Test match between England and Australia in 1877. This is a counterintuitive fact that surprises many who assume England-Australia was first. The other options are fabricated - England-Australia didn't play in 1869, Australia-Wales in 1883 is wrong, and England-India in 1892 is impossible.
