Alex Murray, from the European Cricket Council, has generously provided the following snippets regarding development news in Europe, and will do so each month:
Andy Searson, from Birmingham University, has been studying Italian during his compulsory year abroad, in Catania, Italy. This is part of the ECC coaching development, whereby he was qualified as an ECB Level 1 Coach before leaving London over 6 months ago and encouraged to develop cricket in his University area. The ECDO recently visited Andy and is pleased to report Andy has almost reached 'hero' status amongst the local cricketing youngsters. The game has really begun to flourish under his guidance, proving that University Cricket Coaches are worth investing in to assist in developing the game in Europe. Congratulations to Andy on a job well done.
ECDO in Slovenia
The ECDO recently visited Slovenia to assist in the development of cricket in this country. Damir Alidzanovic, a keen cricketer from Slovenia, has been instrumental in keeping the game going in Slovenia and over the coming months, ECC looks forward to working with him to increase the participation of the game and implement a basic development programme.
