It will be used mostly for cricket matches. It is located in southern Trinidad, just outside the city of San Fernando, beside the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, about two kilometres southeast of Trinidad and Tobago's former cricket ground at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre. Built to hold 15,000 people in a mix of fixed seating and grass banks it is named for Brian Lara, who until 17 October 2008 was the all-time leading run scorer in Test cricket, when he was surpassed by Sachin Tendulkar. It was initially planned to host warm-up matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup and serve as a cricket academy after the tournament. However when it became apparent that the facility would not be completed in time for the tournament the warm-up matches were instead hosted at the Frank Worrell Field at UWI St Augustine. The Caribbean Premier League chose the Brian Lara Cricket Academy as the host for the final matches of the 2017 tournament, the first high-profile matches at the ground.[1] The 2018 final was also held there. Both finals were won by Trinbago Knight Riders. DevelopmentThe Brian Lara Cricket Academy was commissioned in 2004 by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago through the state company UDeCOTT to provide a high class sporting venue for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.[2] With Trinidad and Tobago receiving the Brown Package of matches and the use of the Queens Park Oval as the primary venue, the Brian Lara facility was earmarked to host warm-up matches. To be ready for the Cricket World Cup the facility had to be completed by February 2007 and game ready by March 2007. Major design and construction problems kept pushing back the completion date as well as increasing the construction cost. Once it became apparent it would not be ready for the World Cup, matches were shifted to the grounds at UWI. The delays and costs have made the complex one of the more controversial infrastructure projects undertaken in Trinidad and Tobago. The initial cost was estimated to be TT$257 million, but with the cost overruns and the increase in prices of materials, in 2009 the estimated costs were TT$700 million and by the time the facility was eventually opened in 2017 the costs had exceeded TT$1billion.[3] Other sportsThe Brian Lara Cricket Academy was meant to be a component of a larger complex situated on {{convert|180|acre|km2}} of farm land in Tarouba, with a cost of TT$1.1 billion. It was designed by Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, a US architectural firm. The complex was proposed to consist of:
The completed stadium serves as a training facility for cricketers. It has four indoor cricket training pitches with computerised biometric technology to measure an athlete’s performance, including two full-length run-up pitches for fast bowlers. Spectators have an unhindered view from every area of the stadium, including the concessionaires area. It also has areas specifically designed for the print, radio and television media. The facility may also include a hotel in the future. It has been estimated to cost an additional TT$190 million. Cricket matchesThe first major cricket matches at the ground were several of the matches of the Caribbean Premier League in September 2017, including the final.[6] The first first-class match was held in November 2017: in 2017-18 and 2018-19 the Trinidad and Tobago team played some of its home matches in the Regional Four Day Competition there, and some at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain.[7] References1. ^http://www.cplt20.com/fixtures 2. ^http://udecott.com/projects/brian-lara-cricket-academy/ 3. ^http://ttwhistleblower.com/controversial-brian-lara-stadium-jwala-sachin-stay-away/ 4. ^http://www.msya.gov.tt/sport/the-ministry/mega-projects/127-national-aquatic-centre 5. ^http://ttcyclingfederation.org/ncc.html 6. ^{{cite web |title=Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/30/3067.html |website=CricketArchive |accessdate=5 January 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=First-class matches played on Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/30/3067_f.html|website=CricketArchive |accessdate=5 January 2019}} External links
