Construction of the new Chinese-funded Sir Vivian Richards Stadium for next year's World Cup has passed inspection by the International Cricket Council. Don Lockerbie, the ICC chief operations officer for the Cup, said the team inspecting the �16 million venue in Antugua were satisfied with progress.
"A tremendous amount of work has been done since we were last here in March - they are on schedule," he said.
The 20,000-seat stadium will host eight second-round matches in the Cup.
There has been less encouraging news about development works at other grounds, however, with Jamaica's Sabina Park the primary concern.
