With the Caribbean Premier League
coming up in June, there’s been a lot of talk going around about the series.
Let’s explore the stadiums which are going to host the entire series. Each
stadium has its own unique feature. Take a look and see how many of these facts
you weren't aware of.
1.
Kensington
Oval: Did you know that in 2008, the Institute of Structural
Engineers recognised this stadium as one of its ‘Structural Awards’ winners.
The award was given in the category of ‘Awards for Sports or Leisure Structures.’
2.
Beausejour
Cricket Ground: This stadium is said to be amongst the top 10 most
picturesque stadiums of the world.
3.
Queens Park
Oval: It is presently the
stadium which holds the largest seating capacity in West Indies. Its count goes
up to 25,000.
4.
Providence
Stadium: Do you remember the iconic moment when Sri Lankan bowler
Lasith Malinga became the first bowler in the history of international cricket
to take four wickets in four consecutive balls? It happened right here!
5.
Warner Park:
You will be amused to know that some seats in this stadium have been recycled
and believe it or not, they’ve become more comfortable now!
6.
Sabina Park: An interesting fact about this stadium is
that earlier, a breath-taking view of the Blue Mountains used to be seen,
opposite to one of the stands. It was certainly a spectacular view!
