Contrasting events on two continents \u2013 Africa and Asia — have served to highlight Revolver Cricket’s growing appeal in some of the world’s emerging cricket nations.<\/p>\n

While Cricket Namibia development staff are preparing for a national Youth Festival in Windhoek, starting next month, Japan Cricket Association development officers have introduced an enthusiastic group of youngsters to the Revolver Cricket concept in Chiba.<\/p>\n

As an acknowledged pacesetter amongst Africa’s emerging cricket nations \u2013 having won major ICC awards for Best Development Program — Cricket Namibia is showcasing Revolver as part of its burgeoning Youth Festival, which this year runs over seven weekends from June 10 to July 24.<\/p>\n

Referring to the potential spin-offs for Revolver, Cricket Namibia’s development manager, Marsia Reed, reports: “The rest of Africa is watching.”<\/p>\n

The introduction of Revolver Cricket in Japan follows a visit to Australia earlier this month by one of JCA’s development officers, Yumi Ishimoto.<\/p>\n

In Queensland to lay the groundwork for a possible cultural exchange program, Yumi watched a Revolver Cricket demonstration game at St Eugene College, Burpengary, north of Brisbane.<\/p>\n

“Having established a Japanese connection, it’s really pleasing to think Revolver could become a significant development tool in that country, ” Revolver Cricket director Peter Thomson said. “But, frankly, with a country like China on its doorstep, it’s also impossible not to find ourselves contemplating the enormous possibilities that might ultimately represent.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
