Exploring the T20 World Cup Venues in New York, Dallas, and Lauderhill

The upper level behind home plate in the old baseball complex has been preserved and now stands on the backward square-leg/cover boundary. The lower bowl around the ground has been rebuilt to fit the dimensions of a cricket ground with an oval shape. However, the boundaries towards the structures kept from the original baseball site are slightly smaller.

The venue will host the tournament’s opening fixture, a North American battle between the hosts and Canada on 1 June, along with a further three matches between 4 June and 7 June. To the east, the Central Broward Park and Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, will also play host to four matches from 11 June to 16 June.

The venue, a familiar site for fans of the Caribbean Premier League and international fixtures of American and West Indian teams, has hosted T20Is since 2010. It has seen teams preparing for the T20 World Cup, as well as West Indies taking on New Zealand, India, and Bangladesh in various series over the years. The venue has also hosted numerous ODIs, including a series between the USA and Ireland in December 2021.

USA and Ireland played a match against each other before Ireland traveled to the Caribbean. In preparation for the tournament, the ground underwent an $8.4 million renovation. Resodding was completed in February, with the cricket block expanded to six pitches. The practice facilities were upgraded, along with grandstand enhancements to accommodate the expected crowds.
