Cricket East

Cricket East held a successful Welcome Day on Sunday 13 January for Bedfordshire's new Young Cricketers - all Girls age groups and boys Under 13s, 15s and 17s.

Ex-England cricketer Sajid Mahmood discussed fitness and player progression, kit was ordered from Serious Cricket and talks were given on the programme plans for 2019.

Positive feedback was given from parents and youngsters! Shaftab Khlaid, Cricket East's Performance Lead (Hunts & Beds) said: "The impact of having a Welcome Day with an England player has been really positive and parents and young people want to see the change."

A Welcome Day for Under 10s, 11s and 12s will take place once the squads have been chosen.

A Welcome Day will be arranged for Huntingdonshire's Young Cricketers in due course.
