This brings to five the number of codes under the association, formed three years ago. Others are netball, volleyball, football and athletics.

BOPSSA spokesperson Edward Moreti said the addition of cricket signifies the growth of the association. He said their intention is to add two more codes before the end of the year.

Besides, the code should not only be confined to a certain region.
