Anguilla / Special Interests / Cricket
Cricket is quite a popular sport among the Anguillians during the season in the early part of the year and there is an island league.
The main cricket ground is Ronald Webster Park located in the Valley but you will see other pitches as you drive around the island.
Anguilla received a lift from the fact that an Anguillian, Omari Banks, was selected not long ago for the West Indies test squad. You might also come across Cardigan Connor, a fast bowler who played on the English county circuit for many years. He is the masseur at Cap Juluca. Now there’s a strong pair of hands for some deep tissue massage.
For information about other sport on Anguilla see our Anguilla Sports or Anguilla Watersports sections.
