Cricket fans eager to witness the second Test between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Sabina Park were left disappointed as wet conditions delayed the start of play. Scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM, the match has been held up indefinitely, with umpires raising concerns about the state of the field.
A combination of overnight rain and insufficient ground preparations left sections of the outfield and pitch in poor condition. Reports suggest the ground staff struggled to fully cover key areas during the downpour, leaving the iconic venue unprepared for a timely start.
This fixture was meant to be a celebratory return of Test cricket to Jamaica after a three-year hiatus. However, with a next inspection planned for 1:00 PM, uncertainty looms over whether play will happen today or if the opening day will be entirely washed out.
The West Indies, fresh off a commanding victory in the first Test, lead the two-match series 1-0 and aim to close out the series on home soil—weather permitting.
