How Hybrid Grass is Transforming Cricket at Edgbaston

At Edgbaston, one of cricket’s most iconic venues, fixture congestion and the demands of a modern sporting calendar pushed grounds staff to find a smarter way to maintain world-class playing conditions. The solution came in the form of SIS Grass Hybrid – a surface technology that blends natural grass with synthetic fibres to deliver durability, consistency and performance. Since installation, the system has transformed Edgbaston’s ability to host back-to-back fixtures, showcase both men’s and women’s matches on equal footing, and stage global events like the Commonwealth Games – setting a new benchmark for sporting theatre.
