Crowd allowed for WI vs England 2nd Test

Bridgetown (Barbados), March 15 : Cricket West Indies (CWI) has stated that the Kensington Oval will be open to a full capacity crowd for the second Test match against England from March 16 to 20. The venue will be allowed to return to 100 percent capacity for fully vaccinated fans, following a decision taken on March 14 by the Barbados Government. Additionally, the fans in the Banks Party Stand will no longer be required to take rapid antigen tests to enter, with all fans now just needing to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and be able to present their vaccination documentation. “We are very happy that there is the potential for more West Indies and travelling England fans to attend the 2nd Test match at Kensington Oval. We were almost sold out for the first two days before the decision by the Government of Barbados, which everyone welcomes,” said Dominic Warne, CWI’s Commercial and Marketing Director. “Additionally, this will make it a much smoother experience for Banks Party Stand ticket holders, of which there will be more than 1000 per day, following the removal of rapid antigen testing requirements. We are expecting another dramatic Test match against England and we want as many West Indies fans as possible rallying behind the #MeninMaroon.” The three-Test match series is still level following the draw in the first game at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
