ECB to re-tender Cardiff Test match
Glamorgan County Cricket Club (GCCC) has lost the right to stage a Test match between England and the West Indies next summer, after the event was put back out to tender.
The England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) management board took the decision after GCCC said it would be late paying its staging fee for the recent Test match with Sri Lanka. Further talks between the national governing body and the club have led to an agreement to grant an extended period in which GCCC are to meet its financial obligations.
ECB chief executive David Collier said: "This decision with a view to assisting the club in developing a sustainable long-term business plan for staging international cricket. "While it will not be permitted to stage the West Indies Test Match next year, the club will continue to host a one day international against India later this summer and South Africa next year."
GCCC chief executive Alan Hamer added: "Due to the commercial challenges the Club faced in staging the recent England v Sri Lanka npower Test match, the ECB have agreed to extend the deadline for Glamorgan Cricket to meet the financial terms of the match agreement."
