No it won't be. The club has a lease agreement with the council lasting for probably another 15 years. It has been playing cricket at Balls Park for over 100 years and eviction now due to some money grabbing property developers would be a local tragedy.
The site being developed was the land formerly owned by the university, who had no claims on the cricket ground nor the land adjoining it (behind the pavillion) where there's another smaller cricket ground. The council own that land too.

How do you know this. Sounds a bit fishy to me.
