An excellent piece in today's Daily Telegraph highlights the growing interest of cricket among schoolchildren in New York:
Impressed by numbers of white-clad young players in the city's parks at weekends, New York's Department of Education has set up a league, with about 600 state secondary school students playing. Announcing its decision, the department said New York was the first and only state school system in America to offer competitive cricket.
