Bristol, Southampton Venues Went Through Refurbishments For Women’s T20 WC, Says Tournament Director
The Bristol County Ground: The Bristol County Ground and the Utilita Bowl in Southampton have undergone significant infrastructure refurbishments ahead of the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup, with tournament director Beth Barrett-Wild saying that they were done as part of a broader wave of facility investment triggered by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) hosting the global event from June 12 to July 5.
"When you host a World Cup, it gives you an opportunity to invest in sorts of capital projects and initiatives. So we've got seven incredible host venues for the tournament this summer in six cities—at least three of those embarked on significant facility developments. The Bristol County grounds in Gloucestershire -- that's a multi-million-pound changing room refurbishment that they've undergone, which has been instigated by them being a Women's T20 World Cup host venue to meet those minimum requirements.
“So they're going to have incredible facilities, and I haven't been down to see them yet. I'm due to go in a couple of weeks to watch some of the games. But I think the changing facilities that they're going to have now are just going to be next level. I think they've got four facilities that they've invested in and a three-million-pound project that they've embarked on.
