Port-of-Spain: The Jamaican leg of India’s upcoming cricket tour of the West Indies may be scrapped or shifted to another venue as the Sabina Park, being renovated for the World Cup 2007, may not be ready before the series.

According to the West Indies media reports, recent cement shortage led to an alarming slow-down in construction work at the venue, undergoing a $29 million renovation in preparation for the World Cup next March.

“As we speak there is no final decision,” Jamaica Cricket Association vice-president Paul Campbell was quoted as saying by a Jamaican daily on Sunday.

“It was brought to our attention last week (by the Sabina Venue Development Team) that under the current circumstances meeting the deadlines will be really tight,” he said.

Jamaica is committed to completing the Sabina project by October 30. (PTI)
