Cricket World TV - Edgbaston Ground Development Heralds New Era

10 June 2011

On Monday 25th July the official opening of Edgbaston's new £32 million stand development will take place, taking Edgbaston into a new era of entertainment and making it one of the leading Test and County cricket grounds in the world.

The development, which will be ready in time for England's Test against India in August, will see increased capacity for spectators, a new conference and banqueting suite for 700 guests, new executive boxes and ultra-modern playing, corporate, office and member facilities.

We talk to Warwickshire staff as well as current players to get their views on the recent development.
