Absolute disgrace that there isn't a test match at the Ageas Bowl home of Hampshire c.c.c. They've supported English cricket now for a number of years & ploughed millions into their ground, it would be nice to hear an explanation of this derisary decision from the powers that be, cricket is for everyone not just the chosen few.

It is absolutely ludicrous that Lords has two test matches against India in 2021 and Edgbaston doesn’t have one all. Given the huge Indian population in and around the Birmingham area and their passion for cricket and the support of their team the decision is bizarre. The ECB have shot themselves in the foot. As well as guaranteeing a sell-out crowd for every day at Edgbaston the revenue from food and beverage sales would have been enormous.

Having just seen the allocation of major matches for the period 2020 -2025 I have to say that I am staggered at the apparent unfairness of the allocations. As a Hampshire supporter I am amazed that whatever criteria has been used to make the allocations that the Ageas Bowl does not get a Test Match in the whole of the Period and appears to get one 1 Day International in 2023 and 6 T20's over a 5 year Period. I am sure a number of other grounds will be disappointed with their allocations but surely none can feel as aggrieved as the Ageas Bowl !
