Pakistan and West Indies were today forced to scrap plans to practice at
Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica, which hosts Tuesday's World
Cup opener between the sides, because the net facilities were not ready. 
They instead trained at the nearby Kensington Oval in Kingston.
There was never any doubts about the pitch readiness at Sabina, just the practice
facilities.
Former West Indian fast bowling great Andy Roberts,
now a pitch consultant for the World Cup, said the net pitches had been used
as a dumping ground while renovation work was done at Sabina.
On the other hand, the met department has predicted that rain
may interrupt opening match of the World cup.
