Progress on a new cricket facility in Lancashire has reached a significant milestone with the start of steel work for the new pavilion. The project, a collaboration between Lancashire County Council (LCC) and Lancashire Cricket, aims to create a premier destination for both professional and community cricket. The facility, expected to be completed in 2026, will become Lancashire Cricket’s second home after Emirates Old Trafford and serve as a North West Centre of Excellence for the women's game.

"This project is a testament to our commitment to enhancing sports infrastructure in Lancashire and supporting wellbeing. We are excited to see the progress and look forward to the positive impact this facility will have on our community."
