MODERATE CROWDS are expected at Kensington Oval for the second Test match between West Indies and Pakistan starting on Sunday.
In an recent interview with WEEKENDSPORT, Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) chief executive officer Noel Lynch said there had been a decline in spectators coming out to watch Test cricket globally, and he expected the same to occur on Sunday.
Only two stands – the 3Ws and the Greenidge Haynes – will be open for the five-day match.
“Outside of England, it is very difficult to get a lot of spectators to come in to watch a Test match. Test cricket is the one area in which globally there has been a decline in patrons. Even though the last match in Sabina Park [Jamaica] was a commemorative match, it did not attract a lot of people,” Lynch said. (RA)
