The stadium has hosted five Test matches, with the first of them all held between West Indies and India in 2011. The game ended in a draw.
Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will make his India debut, as confirmed by captain Rohit Sharma, in the first Test against West Indies, starting later today in Dominica. The southpaw, who enjoyed a stellar season with the bat in the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this year, will open the batting with Rohit, with Shubman Gill to come in at no.3. Jaiswal will hope that he lives up to the hype and promise that he has shown in IPL, as well as the domestic circuit.
