Cricket Nurseries Will have a Permanent Importance: Ramiz Raja

Lahore: Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that cricket nurseries in the country will have permanent importance under him. On Friday, Raja had a meeting with Chairpersons and Chief Executives of the First Boards at the National High-Performance Centre, where he shared his vision revolving around grassroots cricket.

“The grassroots level deserves attention as it has been a neglected field for years, resulting in marginalising our growth canvas. Under my watch, cricket nurseries will have permanent importance,” said Raja in a statement by PCB on Saturday.

In the meeting, Raja emphasised on the quick resumption of schools and club activities as well as infrastructure up-gradation so that the youngsters receive the best playing facilities and environment to display and demonstrate their talent.
