New Zealand Cricket supports Western Springs becoming Cricket's home in Auckland
New Zealand Cricket has expressed its support for Western Springs becoming the home for the sport in Auckland

Regional Facilities Auckland has proposed the stadium be developed into a world class cricket ground, once it's phased out as a motorsport venue.
In its submission to Auckland Council, New Zealand Cricket says Auckland is currently missing out significantly on international cricket exposure due, primarily to the lack of a cost-effective, financially-viable venue.
NZC says developing a fit-for-purpose, yet multi-use cricket venue is as essential for bringing more tests, ODIs, and Twenty20 internationals to Auckland, as well as upcoming tournaments of significance such as the women's world cup.
