The Nation News article below discusses Barbados’ preparations for hosting the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Minister of Sports in Barbados Charles Griffith emphasized the need for community involvement and volunteer support.

Despite a shorter preparation time, he assured readiness for the event. The government’s loan of BDS $50 million from the African Import and Export Bank is not solely for Kensington Oval’s upgrade but also for other infrastructure. This marks the second refurbishment of Kensington Oval, previously modernized in 2005.

The venue will host the T20 World Cup final for the second time, having previously hosted the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final in 2007.
