Photograph: Tommy Dickson/InphoIrish cricket’s wait for a permanent stadium is set to end after plans for an oval were included in the Sport Ireland campus Abbotstown master plan revealed on Thursday afternoon.

The impending construction of a stadium should mean that a facility will be in place ahead of the 2030 T20 World Cup when Ireland will share host duties with England and Scotland. Cricket Ireland already has a high-performance centre in Abbotstown which features turf practice facilities, though their introduction has taken longer than planned.

Talks have been ongoing between the governing body and Government since 2018 over the building of a stadium. The awarding of World Cup fixtures to Ireland, a decision which was made last year, looks to have accelerated the development of a cricket ground at the Sport Ireland complex.
