The Bulawayo Province Cricket Management says they want to work hand in glove with the Ministry of Sports, Arts and Recreation in developing talent and facilities in the province.

In an interview conducted by Next Level Sports T.V at Queens Cricket Stadium, Nicholas Singo the General Manager of Tuskers highlighted the areas that they think are critical in developing Cricket in the region.

“We want to have many tournaments in schools and we also want to train a good number of teachers to be cricket so that they groom youngsters in a proper way,” the former Southern Chief Executive said.

The Bulawayo Province Cricket management also plans to improve cricket facilities namely Emakhandeni Cricket Club and Bulawayo Athletics Club.

“We want to face lift Emakhandeni Cricket Club so that it will be able to host first class cricket. These are the engines of development they need to be developed and equipped with proper equipment and coaches,” said Singo.

“There is also need to strengthen our league so that we can expose as many junior players as we can. As a province we have introduced colored clothing and we are the only province that has introduced that professional set up to our clubs,” the Tuskers General continued.

Meanwhile the Tuskers head has expressed excitement on the inclusion of two players from the province in the test side to face Sri Lanka.

“As a province we are happy that two of our players Ainsley Ndlovu who is a left arm leg spin bowler and Charlton Tshuma who is a right arm leg fast bowler have been included in the National team that will face Sri Lanka. It shows that as a province we are doing the right thing and we are in the right direction,” he said.
