Cottari Kanakaiya Nayudu captained India in their first Test match, played at Lord's in 1932 against England.  India lost by 158 runs.\n\nOr do you mean first captain after Indian independence in 1947? In that case, it was Lala Amarnath, who captained India against Australia in 1948, in Brisbane.  India lost that match by an innings and 226 runs.

Don't really know - but it has happened at least 9 times when a country has made its first test appearance. First instance was the 1st ever Test match at the MCG in 1877 D.Gregory for AUS and J.Shelby for ENG. Apart from that I think ENG had a captain on debut in the 1970's.

we have an indoor stadium here in australia. it gets used for one dayers but players complain about the removal of natural conditions used for bowling especially.  the wind, etc is a vital part of cricket.  also, it cannot be used for test matches because you cannot see a red test match ball under lights. its why the one day ball is white. it also costs too much.
