ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC – Dominica’s cricket authorities here are intensifying preparations for the staging of the two One-Day Internationals between West Indies and South Africa later this year.

“At present I must say that we are very happy with how things are shaping up,” Ducreay said.
“It has been a lot of hard work, but we are getting there. It is out intention to put up a world class event, one that we will truly be proud of. We are going all out to make this event even bigger and better than last year.”
He added: “Most of the corporate boxes have already been taken up, so that in itself is a very good sign. It clearly shows that we are marketing the event.”
