Providence is the fastest drying International cricket venue in the world and unless there is rain during ‘playing hours’ there will be play. If however, it rains all day and no play is possible, fans receive a full refund.

Children under the age of 12 will be admitted free but those who purchase Tickets and are desirous of taking children to the games are reminded to ask for a ticket for the child. Tickets are also being sold on-line
Tickets for the Green Stand for Sunday’s game between West Indies and number one raked and five times World Cup Champions Australia have already been sold out. The final game of the Guyana leg is fixed for Tuesday and involves South Africa and Australia. All games commence at 13:00hrs.
Meanwhile, local listeners will not be able hear live radio commentary on the any of the games in this series since the state owned NCN could only afford to pay for the Television rights.
Guyanese Insurance Agent and Cricket Umpire, Matthew Kissoon is set to make his international debut on Radio in tomorrow’s game. International Commentators Andrew Mason from Barbados, Inderjeet Persaud and Sean Devers are also a part of the Sports Radio team doing the ball-by-ball play.
