The ACC's Game Development consultants, Cricket Australia, and ACC Development Officer Rumesh Ratnayake lead the delegation which will run a six-day Cricket Skills and Coaching course for thirty coaches from Shanghai and Beijing. Many of the Chinese coaches work at university-level in various ball-sports.
