Kensington Oval held an open day and a town hall meeting this afternoon (29 – May 2024) to highlight the storied cricket stadium’s renovations for the ICC T20 World Cup and addressed public concerns regarding next month’s competition, Prime Minister Mia Mottley had announced last Friday. She made the disclosure to journalists at Ilaro Court where the Erdiston Teachers’ Training College signed a memorandum of understanding with the Columbia University Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study. Mottley, who urged Barbadians to be welcoming to the high number of visitors expected to be on the island for the tournament, said citizens themselves will get the opportunity shortly to tour the facilities to see for themselves the vast number of improvements that were carried out. She said: “[Kensington Oval] is a national treasure, our cricketers are national treasures, and against that backdrop I have asked my office to have a town hall meeting, we are hoping it will be Wednesday afternoon, and out of that meeting [to organize] an open afternoon at Kensington. Let Bajans from all walks of life come and see what we have spent their money on.
