Test Cricket at Kensington Oval
The Caribbean's most historic cricket ground — the home of West Indies cricket
Kensington Oval in Bridgetown is one of cricket's most historic and atmospheric grounds — the home of West Indies cricket since 1882 and the venue for some of the game's greatest moments. The ground hosted the 2007 Cricket World Cup final and has been the stage for legendary performances by Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Clive Lloyd, and Brian Lara. Watching a Test match here — with the passionate Barbadian crowd, the rum punch, and the Caribbean sunshine — is one of cricket's great experiences.
