Cannabis lamps help Warwickshire County Cricket Club's pitch

Lamps of this type are used to promote the growth of cannabis plants.

West Midlands Police gave the lamps free of charge to the club to use at their ground in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

The grow lights will be used to heat up the soil and replicate warmer conditions.

Warwickshire's ground is a venue for international matches, as well as county cricket.

The lamps will be used to help keep Edgbaston's wicket in prime condition

Charlie Dagnall, a Test Match Special commentator and former Warwickshire bowler, said he backed the idea.

"If this is like sticking a greenhouse over the pitch and makes it more lively it can only be a good thing," he said

Admin Footnote:  Anyone knowing of a redundant cannabis farm in the area, please notify the groundsman!!!!
