Cricket West Indies (CWI) director Chris Dehring has thrown his support behind the idea of hosting a historic pink-ball Test match in Jamaica this July, saying the available data strongly supports the move from both a performance and commercial standpoint.
With anticipation building for Australia’s first tour to Jamaica in a decade, Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) President Dr. Donovan Bennett has confirmed that the installation of upgraded floodlights and a state-of-the-art scoreboard at Sabina Park is progressing on schedule. The upgrades are essential for the venue to host the historic day/night pink-ball Test match between West Indies and Australia, set for July 12–16, 2025.
Jamaica’s cricket fans could be treated to seven nights of international cricket this July when Australia arrives for a Test match and two T20 Internationals, but that excitement hinges on the completion of crucial lighting upgrades at Sabina Park.
