Live visuals of the ICC U-19 World Cup match between Ireland and Zimbabwe shook vigorously for a few seconds as an earthquake off the coast of Port of Spain sent mild tremors through the Queen’s Park Oval here on Saturday.

The two teams were competing for positions 9-12 in the Plate league, after finishing third in their respective groups.

While the players were unaware and continued the action on the field, the commentators could feel the tremors as the commentary box began shaking. The earthquake was measured at 5.2 magnitude on the Richter scale.

Commentator Andrew Leonard described the tremors as the commentary box began to wobble. “I believe we are having an earthquake right now. In the box. We are indeed having an earthquake.

“It felt like not just a train going by behind us, but the whole Queen’s Park Oval media centre rocked,” he said. The tremors were said to have lasted for 15-20 seconds.
