Barbados will host the final of the historic International Cricket Council’s Men’s T-20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and the USA.
The official fixtures were released by the ICC and Cricket West Indies, and they have Kensington Oval also hosting five group stage matches and three Super Eight matches before the final on June 29.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley has expressed her pride and excitement at the announcement that Barbados will host the final.
In a statement, Prime Minister Mottley said it is nothing short of a privilege and an honour.
It is a historic moment for our country as well, as this will be the third global cricketing final Kensington Oval has hosted, confirming its place among the world’s premier sporting venues.
She added that as a Government, it is a testament to the high level of organisation Barbados has displayed throughout the years, having hosted the 2007 Men’s ODI World Cup final and the 2010 Men’s T20 World Cup final.
It is equally a reflection of the fact that cricket is intrinsically linked to the identity of Barbados.
PM Mottley also said that the planned renovation of Kensington Oval is tangible evidence that Barbados has already started its preparations.
Over the coming months, they will continue to work with all stakeholders in and outside of the sporting arena, to ensure the thousands of fans who gather here from across the world experience a safe, enjoyable and successful tournament and final.
She urged Barbadians to work together to make sure this tournament is a resounding success and in so doing, reflect the pride and industry we possess as a people, and share it with the world.
