 Profile

Situated on the outskirts of the tourist resort area of Rodney Bay on the island's north-east coast, Beausejour Stadium is one of the Caribbean's newest major venues, completed in 2002 and staging its first international match later that year and its first Test in 2003. In 2006 it became the first ground in the West Indies to stage a floodlight ODI when Zimbabwe were the visitors. Constructed on 22 acres, the stadium has a seating capacity of 15,000 including 18 hospitality suites and a modern pavilion that offers each team its own gym, lounge, balcony and conference room.
