Grenada's Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell wants an equitable distribution of Tests and One-Day Internationals in the Caribbean so all venues can benefit from home series. Mitchell, also the chairman of CARICOM's Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on cricket, made the call during a meeting with West Indies Cricket Board president Julian Hunte here on Thursday. "Gone are the days when the big matches could only be held in a few countries," said Mitchell. "We all have invested heavily in our cricket facilities and we all will be expecting returns on this investment." Mitchell also contended that exposing more Caribbean territories to Test and One-Day matches, cricket could become more diversified and more competitive. The fixtures for the two home series next year against Sri Lanka and Australia, were recently released with the traditional Test venues again getting nods for the five-day matches. Guyana and Trinidad & Tobago will host Tests in the two-match series against the Sri Lankans, while Jamaica, Antigua & Barbuda and Barbados will be the venues for the three Tests against Australia. Grenada, St Vincent & the Grenadines, St Kitts & Nevis and St Lucia will play host to the One-Day Internationals. In preparation to host matches during the World Cup earlier this year, Caribbean host nations dished out over US$300 million to either upgrade or build new stadia. Reprinted from jamaicaobserver.com
