Cricket West Indies strive for day-night test against Australia in Sabina Park in Jamaica

New -delhi [India] April 3 (Ani): Cricket West Indian representatives are optimistic that Sabina Park in Jamaica can accommodate its first day test when Australia comes for the third match of their series in July. Sabina Park has not offered international cricket yet because of the poor lighting quality, according to a report from ESPNCRICINFO. Cricket Australia supports the idea that the test is a day-night event, and it is understood that officials will travel to Jamaica this month for a pre-tour inspection. Australia has never participated in a day-night test match outside his homeland. Chris Dehring, CEO of Western Indian cricket, expressed his excitement about the presentation of the first day night match at Sabina Park, depending on the timely completion of the new lighting system according to the required specifications. He emphasized that they have a robust monitoring system to support the Jamaica Cricket Association and the Jamaican government to achieve this goal. “Of course, it is subject to the new lighting system that is implemented on Sabina Park, that it has been finished in time, and of course to specification we have a very strong monitoring and support system to help the Jamaica Cricket Association and the Jamaican government. Chris Dehring said according to the cited by ESPNcricinfo. West Indies previously hosted a one-day night test against Sri Lanka in Barbados in 2018. They will start their World Test Championships 2025-27 cycle with three home tests against Australia. Cricket West Indies (CWI) unveiled an action-packed schedule for the senior men’s and women’s teams from May to December 2025, with a mix of home and away games. The three home series against Australia, which runs from June 25 to July 16, has been the first Test assignment of Daren Sammy as head coach of the West Indies since he took over from Red-Ball coach Andre Coley. The first Test starts on June 25 at Kensington Oval, Barbados, and the second game will be held on July 3 at the Grenada National Stage. The final test of the series begins on July 12 in Sabina Park, Jamaica. After the conclusion of the test series, the action will go to white ball cricket, with the West Indies collecting in five T20Is from July 20 to July 28.
