The City of Winnipeg is hoping to become a destination when it comes to hosting major cricket tournaments in Canada.
The city says two new cricket fields with concrete pitches will be constructed in La Barriere Park.
Manitoba Cricket Association reports the number of players in Winnipeg has doubled in just the last two years.
Having two more fields in the city will increase playing opportunities for teams, assist in athlete development and ensure Winnipeg is a destination for cricket tournaments.
