The West Indies cricket team made a welcomed visit to Old Trafford last weekend, in the midst of this summer’s Cricket World Cup.

The Windies’ seventh and eighth games of the tournament are taking place at Lancashire’s Old Trafford Cricket Ground. And with a day of downtime on Sunday, the world-renowned side made the short journey over to the Theatre of Dreams.

“It’s the first time I’ve actually been in and around the stadium,”
