The Arnos Vale Stadium is a cricket ground in Arnos Vale, near KingstownSt. Vincent. The multi-use ground – part of Arnos Vale Sports Complex – is situated next to and to the west of the Arnos Vale Playing Field.[a]

The stadium holds the capacity to accommodate 18,000 people and is mostly used for football and cricket matches

History[edit]

The stadium hosted its first ever international game on 4 February 1981. The match was an ODI between West Indies and England and was a close encounter which the hosts won by two runs.

The ground's maiden Test match came in 1997, when the West Indies played Sri Lanka to a draw, with Sri Lanka finishing on 233–8 chasing a target of 269 runs. The second Test held at the ground, in 2009, saw Bangladesh record their maiden Test victory over the West Indies by 95 runs. At the time the West Indies were without many of their leading players due to a dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board, so seven Test debutantes featured in the West Indian team.[1][2]

Ahead of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, hosted by the West Indies, Arnos Vale Sports Complex was renovated over a period of 18 months. The ground's playing area was enlarged, and on the eastern side of the ground a new stand, media centre, operations centre, and pavilion were constructed.[3]
