London Stadium will be considered as a venue for the 2019 World Cup, if it is found suitable for staging cricket.
The England and Wales Cricket Board have been asked by the International Cricket Council to suggest high-capacity venues.
The 60,000-seat capacity of the former Olympic Stadium is much larger than any cricket ground in the UK.
But a feasibility test of the venue - including the size of the potential playing surface - is yet to take place.
Only if that test were passed would London Stadium potentially be put forward as an addition to the 11 venues currently vying to host matches.
