MERCHANDISE IS BEING SOLD IN THE CITY CENTRE WITH HUNDREDS SEEN WAITING IN QUEUES 12:49, 01 Jun 2025 Seeing English flags waving in the air in Wales is a rare sight. But that is the scene in
Cardiff today as England take on the West Indies in the men's one day international cricket series. Hundreds were pictured flocking to Sophia Gardens this afternoon to watch the second
ODI. Merchandise is being sold on Cathedral Road outside the cricket ground, including England hats and flags as fans make their way in to watch the game. The game marks the first time that
West Indies have headed to England and Wales for a white-ball series since 2017. Fans could earlier be seen queuing outside the ground with some still waiting to get in as of the 11am start
time, though the crowds have since dispersed. Speaking ahead of the event, chief executive officer at Glamorgan Cricket, Dan Cherry, said: “We always look forward to announcing our
International fixtures each year and are proud to be hosting South Africa and West Indies in 2025. Article continues below “It will be fantastic to welcome the West Indies back to Sophia
Gardens after eight years and will allow us to continue our excellent relationship which strengthened in the 1990s due to the great Viv Richards representing Glamorgan with great
distinction." GET CARDIFF NEWS UPDATES on your phone by joining our WhatsApp community here. We occasionally treat members to special offers, promotions, and ads from us and our
