Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground

The Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground is a cricket stadium in Saint Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.[1]

Not to be confused with the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground, at the University of the West Indies Jamaica campus.

The stadium is named after Frank Worrell, a West Indies cricketer. First-class cricket was played on the ground three times during the 1970s, during which time it was used as a home ground for East Trinidad.[2] In preparation for the 2007 Cricket World Cup, $1.5 million was spent on refurbishing the ground,[1] which was used for four warm-up matches for the tournament.[3] The ground has been used intermittently as a first-class venue since then, including the semi-final of the 2010–11 Regional Four Day Competition.[2]
