News DeskDubai, UAE – The ICC’s Cricket4Good initiative, in collaboration with UNICEF, recently hosted two inspiring cricket clinics at the ICC Academy Indoor Nets in Dubai. These sessions featured stars from the Bangladesh and Pakistan Women’s teams, who are currently competing in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Held on 4 and 5 October, the clinics attracted over 100 enthusiastic young girls, eager to learn from their cricketing idols. On Friday, the entire Bangladesh squad, led by Nigar Sultana, Shathi Rani, and Sobhana Mostary, engaged the participants in various activities aimed at enhancing their cricketing skills. The following day, four players from Pakistan’s squad—Najiha Alvi, Tasmia Rubab, Sadaf Shamas, and Syeda Aroob Shah—provided personal guidance, teaching the girls lessons in focus, perseverance, and the fundamentals of the game.
These clinics are part of the ICC’s broader Cricket4Good initiative, which seeks to empower young girls and promote inclusion through cricket. By connecting young participants with elite athletes, the initiative not only fosters a deeper love for the game but also imparts invaluable life skills that extend beyond the cricket field.
