Floodlights may be introduced at Lord's

Floodlights may be introduced at Lord's to enable the home of world cricket to stage day-night one-day matches and help make up lost time after rain or bad light.

A statement on the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) official website said members' approval on Thursday to increase subscriptions by 50 percent would allow the owners of Lord's to go ahead with three key projects.

A feasibility project will examine installing floodlighting, the entire outfield will be replaced by a fast-draining topsoil and "drop-in" pitches will be introduced.

"Drop-in" pitches, pioneered in Australia and New Zealand, are prepared in one venue and transported to another.
