Kensington Oval, Cricket stadium in Bridgetown, Barbados
The stadium features two specific cricket sections named after local athletes: the Malcolm Marshall End and the Joel Garner End.
Founded in 1882 as a pasture ground, Kensington Oval became the home venue for Pickwick Cricket Club and hosted its first test match in 1930.
The stadium maintains its status as the principal cricket facility in Barbados, where international matches draw substantial crowds throughout the year.
Following extensive renovations for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, the stadium increased its capacity from 12,500 to 28,000 spectators with enhanced facilities.
The stadium incorporates a specialized grass type in its outfield that resists diseases and recovers rapidly after heavy use or rainfall.
