McLean Park, Napier, is one of the top cricket venues in New Zealand and the region's governing body, Central Districts, want it to stay that way.
With just tomorrow night's New Zealand versus England one-dayer match to be staged this summer CD chief executive Hugh Henderson said New Zealand Cricket's decision to allocate just the day-nighter was concerning and the "public have every right to demand more".
Henderson understood NZ Cricket wanted to allocate more games to southern venues such as Christchurch but, ironically, it came at a time when Hawke's Bay was blessed with predominantly rain-free summer days.
"We're hopeful of getting the India and West Indies tour matches back on the calendar next summer," he said, adding McLean Park was also in contention for the men's ODI World Cup in 2015.
He didn't have tickets sold for tomorrow's day-nighter because NZ Cricket hadn't released them yet.
