In 2018, in St. Moritz, Switzerland, an ice cricket match was held on frozen Lake St. Moritz. The playing field was packed snow rather than ice which would have made play difficult and possibly dangerous. Apparently, the only exception to the regulation cricket rules was to allow the fielders to wear gloves for warmth (rather than for protection).
It was a T20 match between Team Royal comprised of players from England, Pakistan, South Africa and New Zealand, and the Badrutt's Palace Diamonds players came from India, Sri Lanka, Australia and the West Indies. And these were not just any players — they came from the countries' nation teams. They played two matches and Team Royal won both.
