Glamorgan Cricket confirm a collaborative bid with Welsh Government and Cardiff Council has been submitted to host the International Cricket Council (ICC) at the SWALEC Stadium from 2015 onwards.
Cardiff was one of three venues to host the successful ICC Champions Trophy tournament in 2013 and also hosted one fixture during the ICC World Cup in 1999, as well as staging the first Ashes Test Match in the 2009 Series, following the re-development of Sophia Gardens to become the SWALEC Stadium.
The positive working relationship with the Club's stakeholders, primarily Welsh Government and Cardiff Council, has been a hugely important factor in the success of international cricket in Wales since Cardiff became a Category A Test Match Venue.
Discussions are at a very early stage and ongoing, with Cardiff being only one of a number of possibilities being considered.
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: We have engaged in discussions on the matter but at this stage any details would remain commercial in confidence.
