AUCKLAND: Eden Park, the stage for international cricket in Auckland since 1930, might not host another big-ticket match after New Zealand Cricket (NZC) confirmed that it was looking at the Western Springs Stadium in the city as a more viable alternative for top-drawer cricket.
Auckland’s Eden Park is New Zealand’s largest sports stadium, a multi-purpose sports facility that has regularly hosted rugby union and rugby league matches as well as football, apart from cricket. But it is expensive, meaning that NZC can hire it only for the most lucrative cricket fixtures.
