Vanuatu Cricket building for the future and spreading the net wide, in the search for young talent to join their new academy
A new academy has just been launched by Vanuatu Cricket, with the aim of drawing in the best male and female talent from across the country, and building a new generation of national team players.
The venture is being underpinned by funding partner Interchange, and the year-long programme of skills and academic training will be managed by Head of High Performance, Chris Laffan.
Trials have already begun and eventually there will be 50 young cricketers at the academy, 30 from Port Vila and 20 from Santo and Tanna.
And Vanuatu Cricket's Chief Executive, Tim Cutler, says there is a particular emphasis on taking the game in the outer islands to a higher level.
