Over 800 KFC Mini-Cricket kids participated in the recent resumption of the Cricket South Africa (CSA) KFC Mini-Cricket programme.
The ninth KFC Mini-Cricket Provincial Festival for 2023/24 took place at the Oval Cricket Ground in Pietermaritzburg as part of the KwaZulu-Natal Inland regional activities.
The KFC Mini-Cricket programme has produced many successful players. These include Proteas captain Laura Wolvaardt and U19 women's wicketkeeper Karabo Meso.
Andra Nel, KFC Marketing Manager stated that Brand and Purpose shared her views on the continuation of the KFC Mini-Cricket Provincial festivals. As they begin the second half of the KFC-Mini-Cricket season, their core intention remains to level the playing field for all kids. KFC Mini-Cricket is more than just a game for the kids and their families; it provides an opportunity for the children to become their best selves and turn their wildest dreams into reality. She expects an even greater number of KFC Mini-Cricket children to participate and thrive at upcoming festivals across the country.
KFC Mini-Cricket is an essential building block for learning the fundamentals of cricket and developing a love for the game and is the largest grassroots development sports programme in South Africa.
