Former Olympic venue London Stadium is likely to host Cricket World Cup matches in 2019, after its potential playing surface was found to be large enough to allow for one-day internationals to be played there.
The International Cricket Council previously requested that the England and Wales Cricket Board attempt to find high-capacity grounds to host matches. The 60,000-seater London Stadium, currently the home of Premier League side West Ham United, has twice the capacity of Lords.
The stadium has previously been considered by Essex to host domestic Twenty20 matches. There would, however, be serious logistical issues to accompany the conversion of the stadium.
