Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground


The Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in Kingston, Jamaica.

History

The ground is located on the campus of the University of the West Indies at Mona in Kingston, which was established in 1948. The cricket ground at the campus was originally known as the University of the West Indies Ground, but was later renamed in honour of Frank Worrell. Under the influence of the university's Pro Vice-Chancellor, Professor Hilary Beckles, a University of the West Indies cricket team was invited to take part in the 2002–03 and 2003–04 editions of the Red Stripe Bowl, with the ground at Kingston playing host to the side for one List A one-day match in the 2002–03 edition against the Rest of Leeward Islands, while in the 2003–04 edition the ground played host to the Rest of Leeward Islands against Trinidad and Tobago. In March 2004, the ground played host to a first-class match between the University of the West Indies Vice Chancellor's XI and a touring England XI, which the England XI won by an innings and 85 runs.
