It is going to be a monumental event and all are invited to join the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) in celebrating the 50th Test Cricket series to be held in Jamaica when the West Indies take on Pakistan at Sabina Park.
The match venue, which has been famous for producing one of the hardest and fastest pitches in the Caribbean, clutches a lot of history since hosting its first Test between the West Indies and England in 1930.
Ironically, its worst moment was in the 1998 Test when the England-West Indies series was abandoned on the opening day due to an appalling pitch which could potetially endanger the players.
However, Sabina Park’s greatest moment in Test cricket was the 365 not out made by Garry Sobers against Pakistan that stood for many years as the highest individual Test score.

I hope that they will invite Sir Gary Sobers to be apart of the celebration activities.
