This was part of the 360 Framework of Cricket Sierra Leone programme, an engagement that is geared towards reviewing the organizational face of cricket in the country and making recommendations that would see significant change in the growth of the game. The Association in Sierra Leone is much focused on making sure that the game has a momentum as well as incorporating international best standards at all levels.
The regional manager in her statement thanked the press and everyone making the game a favourable one.
“Our task here is to speak with everybody about cricket in Sierra Leone, and not necessarily about the Sierra Leone Cricket Association,” she said.
