This is nothing new but merely reflects the appalling inefficiencies of the WICB Administration and lack of vision.

There are several papers on this topic and how cricket could be integrated into the physical education curriculum and proposals on building a nexus (clusters) between primary and secondary school and cricket clubs.
A lot of work has already been done. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
