West Ham United's London Stadium is reportedly being considered as a potential 2019 Cricket World Cup venue.

Governing body the International Cricket Council has told the England and Wales Cricket Board to nominate high-capacity grounds for the tournament and the home of the Hammers fits the bill, according to BBC Sport.

Tests would need to be carried out on the 60,000-seat stadium to establish its viability as a stage for cricket.

Other grounds under consideration include Lord's, The Oval, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Old Trafford, Headingley, Cardiff, Southampton, Chester-le-Street, Taunton and Bristol, but London Stadium has a far greater capacity.

Lord's is the highest-capacity cricket venue in the UK, capable of hosting around 30,000 spectators.

The 2019 Cricket World Cup will take place between May 30 and July 15, dates which are not expected to clash with West Ham fixtures.
