The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to her Department's press release entitled Prime Minister announces multi-million pound boost for grassroots cricket, published on 4 April 2024, what progress has been made on delivering new cricket domes to host the (a) 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup and (b) 2030 Men’s T20 World Cup.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

This Government believes that grassroots sports facilities are crucial in supporting people to be more active up and down the country and the power of creating a lasting legacy from events such as the upcoming World Cups.

The funding arrangements for the Future of Cricket Fund will be considered as part of the Spending Review. We continue to engage with the England and Wales Cricket Board on this matter.
