Some light for domestic cricket?

Belgian Grand Prix cancelled
The Belgian Grand Prix has been cancelled for the year in order for improvements to the Spa track.
Wikipedia does write on the termoil in a paragraph:
There is an ongoing thread to the presence of the Grand Prix in the Formula 1 calendar in 2006. The organiser of the event went bankrupt in late 2005, and therefor the planned improvements of the race track and the paddock have not been made. The Wallon government has stepped in and provided the necessary funds but the work will probably not be finished before the date that has been given the Belgian Grand Prix. As of Wednesday, the word is that the Formula 1 race in 2006 is called off due to necessary improvements.
