Cricket fans eager for the start of the second Test between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park faced disappointment as wet conditions delayed play. The match, set to commence at 10:00 a.m., was put on hold after umpires ruled parts of the outfield and pitch unsuitable for play.
Reports indicate that the ground covers were insufficiently applied during overnight rainfall, leaving areas of the field damp and unfit for cricket. As a result, the first ball remains uncertain, with the next inspection scheduled for 1:00 p.m. to assess conditions further.
This Test match marks Jamaica’s first in three years, a long-anticipated return for the island to host international cricket. The West Indies, leading the two-match series 1-0, will hope conditions improve as they aim to secure a clean sweep.
For now, the weather, rather than the players, holds the spotlight as spectators await updates on whether play will begin or if the first day will be entirely washed out.
