It is targeting at least 50 participants and gear and equipment donated by Antiguan and regional cricket bodies and individuals will be provided.
In respect of the COVID-19 pandemic requirements, health and safety protocols will be in place such as a nursing and hand-washing station; regular temperature check-ups; the wearing of masks (when necessary) as well as snacks and refreshments.
