The ground hosted the 2007 World Cup Final and the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Final, and stages CPL matches, West Indies home internationals and Barbados Pride fixtures. Located at Fontabelle in Bridgetown, it is the hallowed turf where Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Frank Worrell, the three Ws and generations of Bajan greats made their names.
