Cricket pavilion

Pavilions can vary from modest and purely practical buildings at small venues to large and imposing edifices at some of the historic grounds where Test cricket is played.

The cricket pavilion in the University Parks at Oxford was designed by the leading Victorian architect Sir Thomas Graham Jackson.

Amongst the most distinctive of modern pavilions is that named after Sir Garfield Sobers at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.

Other modern pavilions are those at the Rose Bowl in England and the Brabourne Stadium in India.

The dugout or bench is located just off the field of play, allowing players to enter and exit the field of play more quickly in comparison to a pavilion, therefore maintaining the faster pace of that form of the game (a batsman must be on the field within 90 seconds, rather than within the three minutes allowed in other forms of cricket, for not be given out, timed out) .
