Middlesex are considering moving from Lord’s to a newly developed cricket venue in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The county is a tenant at the MCC-owned Lord’s, where Middlesex have played since being founded in 1864.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But moves to bring in new investment have included talks about a new home.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have had – and continue to have – conversations with several groups of potential investors [about a new venue],” said chief executive Andrew Cornish.<\/span><\/p>\n

“London also actually needs another elite cricket facility,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

He <\/span>told The Times<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> that if any move came to fruition, Middlesex may still continue to play some home games at the famous cricket stadium that has been their home for 160 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If you look at the Harlequins model, they play most of their games at the Stoop, but for big games go to Twickenham.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When Arsenal women go to the Emirates they fill it out, but most of the time they’re not playing there. There’s definitely a model there to be considered.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Things [potential sites] do become available and there are a couple of potential opportunities now,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are a lot of people looking at cricket as an investment opportunity right now. Our global reach is enormous.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In September, Middlesex were sanctioned by the England & Wales Cricket Board for <\/span>breaches of its financial regulations,<\/span><\/a> following an investigation into funds provided to the Middlesex Cricket Board (MCB) and Middlesex County Cricket Club.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
