Test cricket returns to T&T with the fourth and final Test match against India being staged at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, from August 19-24.

The T&T government is among four in the region who have decided not to stand in the way of the staging of matches, despite calling for the dissolution of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, who has been vocal in his condemnation of the WICB, has said he will not get in the way of cricket being played here and he has stuck to his word.

The first Test which is expected to get underway mid-July will take place in Antigua, with the second in St. Lucia and the third, Jamaica.

Guyana, who traditionally hosts India because of the large population of East Indians there, will miss out. Instead, one of the three legs of the tri-series involving the West Indies, Australia and South Africa will be played there.

Isn't there a larger East Indian population in Trinidad,or are they not the same as Guyana Indians.

I find it amusing the "journalist" still uses the terms "East Indians" to describe Trinidadians (and also BG-ites) of Asian Indian ancestry. This term is old school- it was used in my days when the arrival of Asian Indians were still fresh in our collective memory.

The proper term should be Asian Trinidadians or even Indo Trinidadians- I see this term use frequently in Trinidad, yet the feller choose to use "East Indians" should not the editor correct his error?

vix gine be outside prostesting "test is dead"

imusic will be by his side doing pan - a special feature "t20 is trini baby"

Can't believe Barbados isn't getting a Test in a series of this magnitude. Indians will be skeptical to travel to Trinidad and Jamaica given the violent and crime infested nature of those two countries.

Very sad. Antigua, really? Stupes. Are they being given a Test so that the West Indies can avoid a whitewash?

In reply to Devin... they should feel right at home...

Fourth Test? The series will be over by then....

In reply to EmirYes I do hear that term quite often by Trinidadian journalists,it really should be Indo Trini just like we say Afro Trini.They need to be taught history.

In reply to Devin

you think they'd prefer a fast and bouncy kensington oval - the injuns?

btw, more than half of bim is injuns now

home away from home, no?

In reply to natty_forever
They will be right at home in parts of Trinidad and Guyana,they will be told of the places to avoid.Yuh get meh?

In reply to doosra
Why wouldn't they prefer fast bouncy pitches,they got a list of better fast bowlers and as fast as ours,their batsmen are also better,that argument don't stand up now.

In reply to doosra

I rarely see any Indians when I'm in Barbados. And I'm there yearly.

In reply to doosra

Fast and bouncy? Stupes. The Indians have scored well in Australia and South Africa in recent times.

In reply to Devin
Bim needs more Injuns,the place needs Douglarization,ask meh fren bravos.

In reply to granite

I plan to single-handedly take care of that in the near future.

In reply to Devin

yeah...how?

In reply to sudden

can talking about it be classified as one method of "how" to get it done?

In reply to Narper

2,000 paying patrons max on any given day.
With 90% too drunk to even know cricket is going on.

I'll be there on ONE day, to take part in the wake

In reply to Devin

In reply to Narper

That will be done in Trinidad to add more salt to the wounds.

India is to T&T what England is to Bim
