Four of Antigua and Barbuda's most promising young cricketers are set to depart for England this month as part of the Ministry of Sport's Cricket Exchange Programme with the United Kingdom, now in its seventh year.
Michael Greaves of the Liberta Blackhawks, Hilroy Andrew of Rising Sun Spartans, and Mikaeli Tonge of the Bethesda Golden Eagles are among the selected participants heading to the UK for the developmental stint. Both Greaves and Martin expressed gratitude for the opportunity the programme provides.
The Cricket Exchange Programme has become an established fixture in the development of local cricketing talent, offering young players exposure to competitive cricket in England and the chance to broaden their experience beyond the Caribbean region.
Now entering its seventh year, the programme reflects the Ministry of Sport's continued commitment to nurturing the next generation of cricketers from Antigua and Barbuda, a nation with a proud and storied cricketing heritage.
