In February 2022, Major League Cricket announced plans for Church Street Park to undergo a renovation as part of a public-private partnership with the town of Morrisville; the additions will include an expansion of permanent seating capacity to more than 3,500, increased parking, broadcast facilities, and LED-lit practice areas. These renovations come as part of a $110 million investment into eight renovated or newly-constructed cricket facilities ahead of the launch of the domestic Twenty20 league in 2023, and the possibility of hosting matches during the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[4][5]
