What has turned out to be Barbados’ substitute cricket ground may actually be the best choice after all.

With Kensington Oval unavailable for the home side’s WICB Professional Cricket League (PCL) second round clash against the Jamaican Franchise starting on Friday, head coach of the Barbados Pride, Henderson Springer strongly believes hosting the match at the Windward Cricket Club could give his team a notable advantage.

Springer told Barbados Today that while Jamaica would not be familiar with conditions at the Lucas Street, St Philip ground, several players in the Barbados squad would have played there in recent times.
