For cricket fans, stepping onto the hallowed turf of Lord’s Cricket Ground — the Home of Cricket — has always been a dream. Thanks to iB Cricket on the Meta Quest, that dream is now a reality in virtual form.
One of the standout stadiums in the game is a faithful replica of the iconic London venue. Officially named London Kingsforge Field in iB Cricket (due to licensing and naming rights), it is widely recognised by players and the community as the VR Lord’s experience. Whether you’re chasing big totals or bowling under pressure, this stadium delivers an atmosphere and visual spectacle that sets it apart.
The Replica – London’s Kingsforge Field (Stadium 20/21)
iB Cricket has done an excellent job recreating the unmistakable feel of Lord’s. The famous pavilion stands proud, the outfield rolls out in that classic style, and the overall layout captures the grandeur of the real ground. Players frequently comment on how “lovely” and “iconic” it looks once you’re standing at the crease.
Of course, because of licensing, the developers couldn’t use the official “Lord’s” name. Instead, it appears in-game as London Kingsforge Field. Some eagle-eyed fans have noted minor differences — such as the absence of certain modern stands like the updated Alan Stand — but the overall impression remains incredibly strong. For most players, it feels close enough to the real thing to spark that special excitement.
This stadium is often listed as Stadium 20 (sometimes referred to as 21 depending on the session), and it has quickly become a favourite among the iB Cricket community.
Why the Lord’s Replica Feels So Special
iB Cricket already features several world-class stadiums that capture the atmosphere of legendary venues (think the roar of Eden Gardens or the vastness of the MCG). The Lord’s replica sits comfortably among them.
What makes it unique is the prestige. Batting or bowling here carries extra weight for any cricket lover. The crowd reactions, the detailed architecture, and the sense of history all combine to make every delivery feel more meaningful. It’s not just another pitch — it’s the Home of Cricket brought into your living room via Meta Quest.
The game’s developers have clearly prioritised immersion. From the moment you load into London Kingsforge Field, the atmosphere helps you forget you’re wearing a headset and feel like you’re truly playing at one of cricket’s most famous grounds.
The Famous Lord’s Slope – Recreated in VR
One of the most authentic touches is the inclusion of Lord’s famous slope. The real ground famously slopes from the Pavilion End down to the Nursery End, and this feature carries over into iB Cricket.
Many players (including some dramatic innings captured on video) have felt the effect — whether it’s the ball seaming more one way or the challenge of judging lengths on the slope. It adds a layer of realism and occasional chaos that makes matches at this stadium extra memorable. Some sessions have turned into “disasters” precisely because of that slope — but that’s all part of the fun and authenticity.
Gameplay Highlights at VR Lord’s
Whether you’re playing limited-overs thrillers or marathon Unlimited Overs encounters, London Kingsforge Field delivers high-stakes drama. Community gameplay shows everything from heroic chases (including tense hunts for big targets like 248) to collapse-inducing spells that feel straight out of a Test match at the real Lord’s.
The combination of accurate ball physics, responsive batting, and the atmospheric stadium makes every session here special. Many players return to this venue specifically because it feels the most “premium” and prestigious in the game.
