Shah said this at the maiden Africa Cricket Roundtable discussion, with focus on development opportunities, hosted by @TheMiddleStump2 on twitter.
“In 2021, there were 260 leagues, 12,000 new players registered and about 3000 matches played. With just six months into 2022, the numbers have increased significantly more than twice. These numbers mean more opportunities for stakeholders in cricket, from grassroots to the top level. Meanwhile, Nigeria was recently awarded the ICC Cricket4Good Social Impact Initiative of the year for using the game as a tool for engaging and assisting in the development of Internally Displaced Persons in the country.
“Recently, players from the IDP camp participated in the Edo State Cricket Schools competition. The template has been established and NCF has adopted it and the aim is that, within the next five years, we will reach out to two million persons in disadvantage communities,” Akpata added. “We should be able to do an evidence-based research to see where we need to improve. This will be good for players and coaches development,” Tinka said.
