“All Stars Cricket provides a fantastic first experience for all children aged five to eight years old where they’re guaranteed eight weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development,” said James Morgan, who is leading the scheme.

“The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.

“Every child who registers will receive a backpack full of goodies.”

He continued: “Dynamos Cricket provides a fantastic next step for all those graduating from All Stars Cricket and is the perfect introduction for all eight to 11-year-olds new to the sport.
