Kensington Oval, the premier sporting venue in the West Indies, will not be hosting any international cricket matches this year.
It can be revealed that the storied venue has not been listed among the grounds for the West Indies men’s three home series this year. The Windies will face Sri Lanka, New Zealand and Pakistan in a total of 16 matches – four Test matches, six One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and six T20 Internationals (T20Is).
MIDWEEK SPORT has been following the situation for two weeks now and multiple sources have confirmed the fixtures and match schedules for the tours.
This comes a week after it was announced that the Barbados Pride will play all their regional four-day first-class matches away from home.
They will journey to Kingston to face Jamaica Scorpions in the preliminary round of a truncated Cricket West Indies Championship, starting from April 12. The playoffs and finals will be in Antigua.
