The WICB has responded to a backlash over its allocation of Tests for the series against England \

in April 2015 by holding a fresh bidding process for potential hosts.

WICB had originally decided to allocate the three Tests to Guyana, Grenada and Jamaica.

But, after that news surfaced  the cricket boards and, in some cases politicians,

of the Caribbean nations that missed out :

reacted in dismay and have now provoked a rethink.

#3
With many of the Caribbean nations heavily reliant upon tourism, the allocation of

an England Test is especially valuable.

No other country brings as many travelling supporters and their willingness to embrace

the local hotels, restaurants and bars provides a meaningful boost to the local economies.

"There is a list of criteria which the WICB has outlined to the territories.

The winning bids will be determined based on an assessment of these criteria and will not

automatically be the highest bids.

The criteria involve a number of general and specific areas including but not limited to:

pitch and outfield, spectator capacity, accommodation, ground travel, logistics and airlift."

Grenada is a good venue. Guyana may get bounced

The English folks like sand up their butt cracks and may not be nature lovers !
