The program for the year was launched at Wardstrip Primary School in the National Capital District (NCD) today.

“Today marks another successful year of the popular BSP School Kriket Programme in PNG,” said CPNG Game Development/Training Manager, Vaianna Gabba.  

The BSP School Kriket Programme was initially launched in 2009 at Wardstrip Primary School and has grown to be the biggest junior sports program in PNG and the East-Asia-Pacific (EAP) Region.

Cricket PNG’s regional/Kriket Blo Olgeta (KBO) coordinator, Vaianna Gabba, was delighted to hear this news.  

“We are proud to say that 100 percent of the 14-man Garamuts squad making the team are products of the BSP School Kriket Programme.
