Chris Dehring, CEO of Cricket West Indies (CWI), has commended the Government of Grenada for its ongoing upgrades to the Grenada National Cricket Stadium, which is preparing to host West Indies vs. Australia from July 3-7, 2025.

The highly anticipated test match marks the grand return of international cricket to the Tri-Island nation.

Along with CWI President, and Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe, Dr. Kishore Shallow, also toured the venue. They were guided by Honourable Delma Thomas, Minister of Sport, who provided insights into the upgrades taking place.

Commenting on the ongoing upgrades, Dehring remarked: “The Government of Grenada’s investment in this venue is commendable on multiple levels.”

“Quality infrastructure is essential not only for maintaining high standards of play but also for enhancing the overall fan experience.

“Given that, I’m very pleased with the ongoing rehabilitation efforts. The work being done is of a high standard, and I’m satisfied with the facility’s condition at this stage.

“Once the lights are in place, this facility could become a key venue for day/night Test cricket in the future, adding a new dimension to international matches in Grenada,” he said.

With these improvements, Grenada is reinforcing its position as a leading cricketing destination in the region, ready to welcome back international cricket at the highest level.
