The Ghana Cricket Association (GCA) commenced a class-based intro and coaching clinic at Achimota School, engaging 31 classes with a total of over 1,705 students, both male and female. The program, which commenced on Monday, August 11, 2025, aims to promote cricket development among young students and identify potential talent.
The initiative is part of the GCA’s efforts to grow the sport in Ghana, building on the country’s cricket infrastructure development. Notably, the Achimota Cricket Oval has undergone significant upgrades, including the construction of turf wickets, a departure from the traditional AstroTurf pitches used in Ghanaian cricket.
