Gloucestershire hope their County Ground will get Test status (Getty)

Gloucestershire are hoping to transform their County Ground at Nevil Road in Bristol into a Test match venue.

A delegation from the club presented a feasibility study at the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday.

Chief executive Tom Richardson told BBC Radio Bristol: "We're not going into a detailed financial plan right now.

"One of the reasons for talking to as many people as possible is to let them know what we are up to and get as much support as possible."

The County Ground has staged 11 one-day internationals, including matches at the 1983 and 1999 World Cups, and one Twenty20 international.

It has been a regular venue for ODIs since 2000, and is due to host the third ODI between England and New Zealand in June 2008.

The club wants to increase the number of seats as well as corporate and practice facilities.
