The Desert Springs Cricket Ground is a sports ground in Cuevas del Almanzora, Almería, Spain.[1] In September 2019, it was selected to host Germany's tour of Spain in March 2020, which included two Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket matches between Spain and Germany.[2] The ground has also been used by Derbyshire, Lancashire and Somerset for training ahead of the start of the cricket season in England.[3][4][5] In April 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) gave accreditation for the stadium to host One Day International (ODI) cricket matches.[6][7]
