BCA spreads cricket to Francistown schools

BCA chief executive officer, Girish Ramakrishna said this is a positive step in their development plan. He said with the increasing number of children in the sport, there is need to empower teachers.

"Every pupil wants to take part in the game and it is putting pressure on the teachers. We must spare a thought for the teachers who are new to the game and need to make adjustments," he said.  The programme is currently aimed at children in the Under-13 age group. Ramakrishna said they would gradually introduce the game in the Under-11 category.  He said they want to afford the pupils enough time to learn the basics of the game.
