SPORT- CRICKET

The Sport of Cricket was chosen by the coach. This sport specifically comprises skills such as, batting, bowling, wicketkeeping and
fielding. According to ICC (International Cricket Council), Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players
on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps.
Cricket is a team event of 11 on field players, with men competitions and women competitions. The game has 3 formats, T20 which is
20 overs a side, 50 overs a side (one day) and Test match (5 days). The athletes I train play cricket because they are passionate and
love the sport as it is a main sport played locally in T&T and the Caribbean and also worldwide, these cricketers get their inspiration
and motivation from past cricket legends such as Brian Lara and Darren Ganga which are from Trinidad locally and also players today
such as Nicholas Pooran and Bravo etc and also because it can be of great financial aid to these players.
