TheBurma Athletic Association Ground (BAA Ground) was acricket ground inRangoon,Burma (today Yangon, Myanmar). It was built as an athletic ground in 1906, which was completed in 1909, where many sports were held such ascricket, football and tennis.[1][2] The first and only recorded match on the ground came in 1927 whenBurma played its onlyfirst-class match against thetouring Marylebone Cricket Club.[3] The match ended in a heavy defeat for Burma.[4] Cricket in Burma (which was at the time administered as part of theBritish Raj) was a mainly British affair, with the game played by British officials. With Burmese independence in 1948, cricket became largely extinct in the country, and The BAA Ground was renovated and renamed asBogyoke Aung San Stadium in 1953.[1][5]
