Keithroy Black
Acting facilities manager at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground,
Keithroy Black, said additional work will be carried at the venue ahead of the Cricket West Indies Super50 and the tour of the Sri Lanka men’s team in February.
Black pointed to the outfield as the main area of concern following assessments carried out after the recently held 10 Splash Cricket Tournament put on by the Antigua and Barbuda Cricket Association.
“The pitch, and everything else from our end, was good; it’s just that the outfield as below what is expected of us at the stadium but outside of that everything went down good. The whole protocols, not only for ground staff but the entire stadium itself in terms of the protocols were in place and everything went smoothly and that was just a dry run or a practice run for us as we prepare for the Super 50 and Sri Lanka coming up in March,” he said
