AGEAS BOWL POISED TO HOST WORLD TEST FINAL IN JUNE

4/2/2021

Hampshire's Ageas Bowl stadium is on stand-by to host the inaugural and eagerly anticipated World Test Championship final - in all probability between India and New Zealand - in late June.
Lord's is the scheduled venue, but such is the uncertainty the latest strain of Covid-19 has caused, it is looking increasingly unlikely the final will take place in NW8, simply because St John's Wood cannot accommodate players and operational staff in an on-site hotel and guarantee a bio-secure environment.
The Ageas Bowl, which hosted England's international matches against Pakistan and the West Indies last summer, is likely to be the preferred choice (to Old Trafford) as there is more space for players and staff to 'escape' from the arena by walking or jogging or playing on the adjoining golf course.
Hampshire will host a T20 international against Sri Lanka on June 26 at 6pm.
