Chief Executive Officer of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Chris Dehring, met with Jamaica’s Sports Minister, the Honourable Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, on Monday, 7 April 2025, as part of his ongoing engagement with regional stakeholders.
The discussions with Minister Grange focused on the upcoming Test against Australia at Sabina Park and the preparations for a historic day/night Test match from 12–16 July this year. Key highlights from the discussion included plans to strengthen the cricket infrastructure and grassroots cricket for both boys and girls.
Hailing the discussions a success, especially with Australia set to play in Jamaica for the first time in a decade, Dehring said:
“I am extremely pleased with the intent shown by the Minister of Sport and by extension the Government of Jamaica to collaborate with Cricket West Indies ahead of the imminent Australia tour. In addition, I would like to thank the Minister for the recently announced support for the Jamaica Cricket Association to purchase and install the new lights at Sabina Park in time for the Australia Test and T20 matches. With this in view, we believe fans will enjoy the experience of what will be the first day/night, pink ball Test in Jamaica.”
