Core City South Asian Hub
A new South Asian Hub was launched in Luton on 15 November funded by the ECB Core Cities Programme, which aims to engage with and inspire South Asian communities to connect with cricket – both as players and as spectators.
Earlier in the year, Luton was identified as one of ten Core Cities – the only one in the region.
The first initiative of its kind in Luton is targeting the Afghan community as they do not have any fixed club or abode for cricket. There will be a total of 18 sessions running weekly on Thursdays 7.30-8.30pm up to 18 April 2019 at Stopsley High School, Luton.
Cricket East’s Wicketz Development Officer in Luton who is running the Hub said: “From this Hub we aspire to create Luton’s first Under 19 Afghanistan team that will enter the ECB U19 competition and adult leagues as well as provide an entry/pathway for the ECB City Cup Competition.”
