The stage is set for the first ever four-day first-class day/night match, featuring a pink ball. Dr Ernest Hilaire, Chief Executive Officer of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), attended the match launch in Antigua where the pink balls were on display, and during his address he urged all the fans on the island to come out and be part of history on Friday.
He also gave details on the use of the pink ball and the WICB’s framework to re-engineer and revitalise the game at the regional level. As part of the new approach for 2010, the WICB has introduced day/night matches to the WICB Four-day First-class Tournament.
The first match will start on Friday at 1 pm (12 noon Jamaica Time) with Trinidad and Tobago facing Guyana at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.
The other day/night matches will be: Barbados vs Windward Islands at Kensington Oval (January 29 to February 1); Combined Campuses and Colleges vs Jamaica at Guyana National Stadium (February 12-15) and Combined Campuses vs Leeward Islands at Beausejour, St Lucia (February 26 to March 1). These matches will start at 1 pm.
