Why people love it
A standout slice of Barbados
The "Mecca of cricket" — Barbados' historic Test ground, host to West Indies internationals and the 2007 Cricket World Cup final.
What to expect
The experience, end to end
Kensington Oval has hosted international cricket since 1895 and remains the spiritual home of West Indies cricket.
Catching a match — Test, ODI, T20 or a Caribbean Premier League fixture — is one of the most authentic Bajan experiences available, especially from the famously rowdy Greenidge & Haynes Stand.
Even outside match days, the ground runs heritage tours.
