NCF UPLOADS WEBSITE | (2008-04-22 )
The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) has uploaded its website in continuation of its
vision of creating better awareness not only about cricket but about the activities of
the Federation itself.
The site which can be accessed at www.nigeriacricketfederation.com will carry
cricket stories and operations and administration of cricket in Nigeria. It has links to
dedicated sites e.g. Club Cricket Committee (CCC), London Nigerians Cricket Club
(LNCC), Africa Cricket Association (ACA), Cricket South Africa and International Cricket
Council (ICC).
Further to its recent achievements in successfully hosting both the London Nigerians
Cricket Club (LNCC) Tour 2008 and the North West Africa Cricket Championship (NWACC)
2008, the NCF continues its policy at making its administration more robust in alignment
with the standards set by ICC-Africa.
The CEO, Africa Cricket Association (ACA), Mr. Cassim Suliman who paid his first visit
to Nigeria during the NWACC tournament is happy with the progress the NCF is making
administratively and has pledged to support the NCF in transferring this progress to the
field of play.
He has promised to locate more coaching and administrative courses in Nigeria and
Nigeria will be the hub of the thrust of cricket development in North West Africa. He
also announced that Nigeria has been co-opted as an executive member on the Board
of the ACA and will be represented by its President, Kwesi Sagoe.
The Nigerian team on its way to participate in the World Cricket League (WCL) Africa
Division 2 will attend a two-week training camp at an academy in South Africa where
batting, bowling, fielding, wicket keeping experts will attend to them in addition to experts
in sports psychology. All this under the auspices of the ACA as the body tries to prepare
Nigerian cricket for greater challenges.
Furthermore he promised increased funding from the ICC in the next two years in recognition
of the good work been done by the NCF.
