Named in memory of three great West Indies players - Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Everton Weekes- the 3Ws Oval is located on the grounds of the Cave Hill campus of the University of the West Indies and will host four warm up matches of the 2007 World Cup.
A monument with the busts of the magnificent trio is found bordered by tropical flora in the park opposite the University campus.
Each of the three great players of the game were born within a couple of miles of each other and Kensington Oval and were knighted for their contributions to the game of cricket.
