Edgbaston Cricket Ground redevelopment - July update II

The Twenty:20 match against Leicestershire today on the 15th July saw the new stand open following a trial run the previous day, Big Crowd expected for the opening game under lights, and the photos below show the ground and the much improved surroundings with new plaza in front of the ground from the 15th July.

The new stand should provide an excellent advertisement for Edgbaston Cricket Ground and Birmingham when the 3rd npower Test Match against India from 10th-14th August 2011 takes place.






















Meanwhile the local council blocks, appropriately titled, Wickets Tower and Century Tower, are being refurbished and work continues visibly on the exterior.
