The Commonwealth of Dominica has hosted cricket T20 international matches at the Windsor Park Sports Stadium after five years of long gap. The country conducted two back-to-back games, which were held on 2 and 3 July 2022.
The Windsor Park Sports Stadium, situated on the outskirts of Roseau, is one of the official venues for the T20 Bangladesh tour of the West Indies. The stadium has previously conducted four international games, the first of which was an ODI between the West Indies and Bangladesh in 2009, and the second of which was an ODI between South Africa and West Indies in 2010.
The third match (first T20I), between the West Indies and New Zealand, came next in 2014, while the fourth encounter, a Test Match, was played between the West Indies and Pakistan in 2017.
At the time of the match, the authorities gave proper attention to the audience’s entertainment and provided a “Carnival-like” atmosphere to the fans as well as patrons in the interim with the local Dominican cultural presentation.

The Director of Tourism of Dominica, Colin Piper praised the government for the successful hosting of the international matches. He outlined, “The Discover Dominica Authority would like to express its gratitude to the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica and Cricket West Indies for their efforts and assistance in bringing international cricket back to the country after a five-year absence.”

He further expressed pleasure that the two T20I matches in Dominica on July 2nd and 3rd were fantastic and witnessed a strong turnout of local, regional, and international cricket fans to enjoy the fixtures.

Events Management Executive of Cricket West Indies, Joneé Charles, also lauded Dominica for welcoming international cricket with such enthusiasm. She stated, “We are delighted that Dominica was chosen as the host of two matches, and we also hope to host more in the future. After a challenging two years owing to the pandemic, we must express our gratitude to the local organizing committee and Cricket West Indies for staging these T20I matches.”

Dominica has been able to host international matches on its land because of the efforts of the government. The government has been continuously making efforts to uplift the sports infrastructure in the country.

Recently, the Sports Division of Dominica upgraded the Windsor Park Sports Stadium; the authorities contributed to the refurbishment of the lawn. Earlier, new electronic scoreboards were installed at the Windsor Stadium. Prior to the installation, a protective structure was constructed to ensure the safety of the scoreboard, ensuring a more resilient system. The cost of the scoreboard was near ECD 1 million. The previous board was destroyed during Hurricane Maria hit the country in 2017.

Dominica has been creating stronger sporting bodies such as clubs and sports committees and has also been formalizing the National Sports Council, which is in progress as the documents have been drafted. The government has also been working to put the task force in place and has assigned a coordinator.

The government of Dominica has been uplifting the sports infrastructure through the funds generated through the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme of the country.
