Bajans eat, drink and sleep cricket. It is our passion. We love to play it, we love to watch it and we love to talk about it. Join any group of Bajans discussing cricket and they will entertain you with analysis and insights that rival the best commentators bar none.
A nod to our British heritage, cricket is our national sport, and Barbados is its capital, hosting matches at Kensington Oval. Enjoy an elite international test match in season, an exciting local club match or a friendly competition played on open fields. Barbados has always contributed a large number of players to the West Indies team, and Sir Garfield Sobers, a Bajan living legend known as the world’s greatest all-rounder, is one of the few Bajans knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for contribution to the sport.
As the proud host of the ICC Cricket World Cup Final 2007 and other key tournament matches, we are honored to be at the heart of the World Cup, the biggest sporting event ever to be staged in the Caribbean.
The 22nd Digicel Sir Garfield Sobers International Schools Cricket Tournament 2008 runs from July 7 – 24, 2008. Click here for details.
