A host of top stadia has been renamed after sporting stars.

Darren Sammy’s success in captaining the West Indies to the World Twenty20 title has been recognised by his native St Lucia after it was announced that the island’s main cricket ground would be renamed in his honour.

The Beausejour Cricket Ground will now be known as the Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground, with one of the stands to be named in honour of fellow St Lucian and Twenty20 winner Johnson Charles.

And from the new Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground to the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Sport360 picks out other stadia that has been re-named or firstly named after famed sports men and women around the world.
