There is still no end to the toilet issue at Kensington Oval. However, director of cricket of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) Steven Leslie gave the assurance that when cricket fans turn up at the Mecca on Wednesday for the first one-day international against England the problem will be rectified.

Leslie told THE NATION while some washrooms were fixed since the issues arose during the first Test match last month, further inspection is expected to take place before the first ball is bowled on Wednesday.

Most of the bathrooms on the lower levels of the 3Ws and Greenidge & Haynes Stands were out of order causing patrons to be upset.

“The last walk-through by the Barbados Cricket Association revealed that there were still issues with some of the toilets that were dysfunctional previously. We have been assured that it will be fixed way before the match starts on Wednesday.

“There were six toilets that were dysfunctional on the ground floor. That area had many more that didn’t function duringthe Test match,” he said. (AGB)
