West Indies unveils cricket heritage centre
A new cricket heritage centre - a private venture developed by West Indies cricket fanatic Philip Daniels - has opened its doors to the public at the National Stadium in Grenada.
Located on the ground floor of the venue's South Stand, the attraction will operate under the High Five brand after Daniels secured a strategic alliance with the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA). The heritage centre boasts a range of rare West Indies cricket artefacts dating back to the late 19th century, including bats, caps and letters, as well as medals, photos and tour brochures to explore the social history of the sport in the Caribbean.
Tillman Thomas, the prime minister of Grenada, officially opened the attraction on 9 October at a special event attended by the governor general, Sir Carlyle Glean, the island's sports minister, Patrick Simmons, and tourism minister Glynis Roberts. Daniels said: "We are now embarking on our regional and international marketing plans to place High Five firmly on the cricket map. High Five would like to thank Dinanth Ramnrine and all at WIPA for their help over the years in bring High Five to fruition."
