Of 278 test matches played by Pakistan till now, 125 were home games while 153 have been played away. The 125 home tests were contested at 12 test centres, including Dacca (now Dhaka), which remained Pakistan's regular test venue from 1955 to 1971. In fact, Dacca has the unique distinction of staging the country's inaugural test match at home in 1955. The 153 away-tests have been played at 43 test centres, again including Dhaka, the neutral ground in Bangladesh where Pakistan won the final of the Asian Test Championship 1998-99 against Sri Lanka. Of the remaining 42 test centres where Pakistan have played test matches, 11 are in India, 6 each in England, Australia and New Zealand, 5 in West Indies, 3 each in Sri Lanka and South Africa and 2 in Zimbabwe. The most number of test matches at home have been played at Karachi (35). Lord's is the test centre outside Pakistan, where they have played the most number of matches (11). Colombo (Sri Lanka), Mumbai and Chennai in India and Lahore, Peshawar and Rawalpindi at home have staged test matches on more than one ground.
