History
editThe complex is named in honour of Kittsian cricketer Edgar Gilbert, who was from Molyneux.[1] The ground held its first major cricket match in January 2001, when the Leeward Islands played Jamaica in a first-class fixture in the 2000–01 Busta Cup. The following season West Indies B played Bangladesh A at the ground in the same competition, with both teams appearing as guests in the competition. Three further first-class matches were played there until February 2005, with the Leeward Islands appearing in two and West Indies B in one.[2] The ground played host to two minor matches in 2011 which saw the Saint Kitts and Nevis cricket team play England Lions, with both matches drawn.[3]
