Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom said the announcement showed that the Irish government "genuinely regards us as a sport of national significance worthy of major investment"Cricket Ireland chief executive Warren Deutrom has described the Irish government's decision to grant approval to develop a national cricket stadium as "up there in terms of significance with the day we became a full member of the ICC".
Planning and design will be completed by mid-2025 with the tender phase to follow for the National Cricket Stadium and High Performance Centre, which will be located in the National Sports Campus in Blanchardstown.
