A high level team of officials who visited St. Kitts on Tuesday 27th November, on the last leg of an extensive ICC CWC Venue Tour, have left the island singing high praises for the state of readiness of the Warner Park Stadium and the two practice venues at Conaree and Cayon, just outside of the capital Basseterre.
 
In the words of the Chief Executive and Managing Director of the ICC CWC, Mr. Chris Dehring, the Warner Park Stadium, “Pound for Pound”, must be rated the best he has seen in the Caribbean, during what has been a hectic thirteen day inspection swing throughout the nine host venues.
 
The ICC CWC Chief Executive made his views known during a Press Briefing, shortly after the team of experts had completed their assessment of all functional areas, including the Pitch & Field, Cricket Operations, Media & Broadcasting, Accreditation, Venue Development, Security, Safety and other critical areas. Mr.Dehring told members of the media that the people of St. Kitts & Nevis have a great stadium and they should be proud of their achievement and their success in putting on an impressive show for the inspectors. He cautioned however, that the Local Organizing Committee, LOC, should not relax their efforts, but instead should make a strong push to follow through on the minor but important areas that demand attention.
