The 1999 World Cup will be a swansong for the 4,500-seater stadium. In 2001, Hampshire is slated to shift base to a new multi-million pound facility, after which this particular ground will become a footnote in cricket history. The New Zealand team will be based there for training ahead of the World Cup.

Schedule: 24 May, West Indies v New Zealand
                30 May, Sri Lanka v Kenya
