The Brian Lara Cricket Academy is a multi-purpose stadium in Tarouba, San Fernando, Trinidad, and Tobago, that was completed and inaugurated in 2017. It will be used mostly for cricket matches. It is located in southern Trinidad, just outside the heart of the city of San Fernando, beside the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway, about two kilometers southeast of Trinidad and Tobago's former cricket ground at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre. Built to hold 15,000 people in a mix of fixed seating and grass banks it is named after former West Indies cricket captain Brian Lara, who until 17 October 2008 was the all-time leading run-scorer in Test cricket
