BRIDGETOWN, Dec 13: The venue for next year's World Cup final in Barbados won't be finished on time and matches scheduled ahead of the tournament will have to be played elsewhere.
The US$69 million Kensington Oval, originally scheduled for completion by the end of this month, is not expected to be ready until early February because contractors are still waiting on specially designed pieces of the grandstand roof.
“Kensington is still a construction site, and there is still some work to be done,” Barbados organising committee chief executive Stephen Alleyne said on Wednesday. —AP
