Explanation

The first officially recognized international cricket match was played between Canada and the United States in 1844 at the Bloomingdale Park in New York. This historic game predates the more famous England-Australia rivalry by decades. Afghanistan and Ireland are relatively newer cricketing nations, while Scotland-Ireland matches came much later.
