Grace Road is the home ground of which English county cricket team?

Grace Road, also known as the Uptonsteel County Ground, is a cricket ground in Leicester, England. It has been the home ground of Leicestershire County Cricket Club since 1877, although they briefly moved to Aylestone Road in the early 1900s. The club was named after Grace Margaret Yearby, the daughter of a local property owner, Edward John Yearby.

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs in England and Wales. They are nicknamed the Leicestershire Foxes. Historically, the county of Leicestershire is known for foxhunting.

Grace Road can hold up to 6,000 seated spectators on match days, yet has room for 19,999 people when used for music concerts. As of 2021, the record attendance is 16,000 in 1948. The match was against the Australian cricket team, who famously toured England without losing a match.

The cricket ground has been host to matches during the 1983 and 1999 Cricket World Cup. In 1983, India beat Zimbabwe and went on to win the competition. In 1999, Zimbabwe beat India in one match, and the West Indies beat Scotland in another. The tournament was won by Australia, who beat Pakistan at Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
