About the place

Brian Lara Cricket Academy anchors southern sporting events beside the primary regional transport corridor.

The sporting complex operates as a multi-purpose venue designed primarily for competitive cricket fixtures. Situated in Tarouba on the outskirts of San Fernando, the facility replaced older athletic grounds in Pointe-a-Pierre. Its grounds host major domestic matches, training sessions, and regional tournament fixtures.

Direct access runs beside the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, which connects the grounds with the northern boroughs and southern communities. Major events create dense traffic bottlenecks along this artery, requiring travellers to plan journeys well in advance of match start times or rely on local rideshare connections.
