This week, he has been to the north of the country to introduce the game to children. He hosted his first orientation programme at the Francistown Sports and Recreation Centre this week for 19 government primary schools and 38 teachers. The teachers were drilled on the basics of the game.

"The teachers showed a lot of interest in the programme, which is a positive sign as teachers are the ones responsible for most of the development at school level," he said. Ramakrishna said BCA plans to hire a full time coach, Clement Chipanga, to be assigned permanently in Francistown to drive the development programme. "The vice chairperson of the BCA, Praful Jog is already based there which means he will be responsible for monitoring cricket in the north as I cannot always be there," he explained.
