CRICKET West Indies (CWI) announced venue changes for the upcoming rounds of the West Indies Championship on Wednesday due to the unavailability of the Diego Martin Sports Complex in Trinidad.
The changes affect the remaining four rounds of the competition.
Initially, Guyana Harpy Eagles were slated to face Barbados Pride at Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground at UWI Spec in Trinidad from March 13 but that has been moved to the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
Coolidge will also host the Harpy Eagles’ fifth round clash against Windward Islands Volcanoes instead of UWI Spec from March 20.
Jamaica Scorpions will continue to host the Harpy Eagles at Sabina Park from April 10, but the Eagles will not remain in Jamaica to face Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) at Kensington Cricket Club, as they will head to UWI for that match from April 17.
According to CWI, these adjustments are part of CWI’s ongoing effort to provide the best conditions for competitive First-Class cricket and showcase the region’s talent.
