2. Australia (883 Matches)

Australia are the second team to have played 600 or more Tests, sitting behind England in the all-time list. Their rivalry with England through the Ashes series is one of the oldest in sport and has contributed significantly to their overall tally. Australia have been a dominant force across multiple eras of Test cricket, with 883 matches in the format. They also played the first-ever Pink-Ball Test.

They have won 426 Tests, while losing only 235 of them. Moreover, 219 of their games have been drawn. The Ashes alone accounts for a substantial portion of Australia's Test appearances, with the two nations having contested the series since 1882. Australia's consistent participation in bilateral series against all major nations has kept their match count among the highest in the world.
