interested in the game and possibly become professionals that will go on to
represent the state and the country.

Cricket in schools thus getting the interest of these young ones who will later
become state players and the country”.
“This is important to the efforts we’ve been making
all the years. We also want to ensure the game is entrenched in the grassroots
and the reason we came to Command Secondary School, jos for the pilot scheme as
we hope the students will make effective use of these kits”.
Receiving the kits, Commandant of the school,
Lieutenant Colonel Ibrahim Shuaibu, welcome the members of the Plateau State
Cricket Association and appreciated them for counting Command Secondary
school,jos, worthy of being the first school to benefit from the allocation.
