NZ Cricket is threatening to bowl New Plymouth's Pukekura Park out after 130 years.

The national cricket governing body says the pitch is no longer up to scratch and has given the council a year to spruce it up.

Pukekura Park has been restricted to domestic competitions, due to its small boundaries and lack of international class facilities.

Taranaki Cricket General Manager Ryan Evans told Mike Hosking this has all come in response to proposed redevelopments.

He says they've worked closely with the council on the redevelopments, and there's a bit of a process they'll have to go through.
