Windies miss out on Lord’s Test
CRICKET: The West Indies will miss out on the opportunity to play a Test at Lord’s next summer. The Windies will play Tests at Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and Cardiff in 2012 after Lord’s owners Marylebone Cricket Club were outbid. “We were expecting to have a West Indies Test in May or June,” said John Stephenson, the MCC’s head of cricket. “That Test match has gone to Cardiff.” The MCC makes a profit of around £1.5m from a successful Test match – the organisation posted a loss of £2.4m in 2010.
