100% Cricket Female Cricket Initiative of the Year - Oman
\nAiming to redfine the landscape of women\'s cricket in the country, Oman launched the Cricket4Her programme, building an environment that encourages talent development, skill enhancement and empowerment.
\nThe project has led to immediate impact in the country, with 16 teams participating in soft ball tournaments, as well as nine teams transitioning to hard ball cricket league play, building a pathway for young women to move into competitive cricket nationally.
\nChairman of Oman Cricket Mr Pankaj Khimji believes the achievement will put the country \"on a pedestal\", as they take women\'s cricket \"to greater heights.\"
\n“We hope that we are able to take this to the next level, adding more schools, colleges and girls from local communities,\" he said.
\n\"Harnessing the family factor into cricket is going to be the major success factor for cricket in Oman.”
