McEvoy is confident Aigburth can become Lancashire's 'second home'

Liverpool Cricket Club have offered to host all of Lancashire's Championship games at Aigburth in 2010.

Old Trafford is due to undergo major redevelopment over the next 18 months, meaning a number of games will be switched from the Manchester ground.

Liverpool CC chairman Peter McEvoy told BBC Radio Merseyside: "We've said we will take all eight games if they want.

"We're not being greedy but we've made them aware we're confident of being able to stage all of the games here."

While McEvoy believes Aigburth is a capable of becoming a second home to Lancashire, he remains aware his club will not be the only ones in the running.

"I think they (Lancashire) may look to some of the other grounds but we are expecting that we will get a number of those games," he said.

"I couldn't at this stage say how many but we think we will get more than the normal one, possibly a few more."
