Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) says preparations are in top gear for the Nigeria Women International Tournament scheduled for Lagos from March 26 to April 3.
Musa Ehizoje, the federation’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), said that plans were on to ensure a memorable outing for the participating teams.
Debutants Cameroon, defending champions Rwanda, Ghana, Sierra Leone and hosts Nigeria, will be participating in the competition, which is the third edition of the event.
“We are racing behind time to ensure that we deliver the best tournament for all cricket enthusiasts.
“The Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) cricket oval, venue of the tournament, is being renovated to ensure the best quality of games.
“The pitch is in good shape, as well as the scoreboard, the sight screen, et cetera. The facilities are at the best level for competition,” Ehizoje said.
The NCF official also added that in line with the month of March, which is widely regarded as Women’s History Month, the federation intends to invite more female officials.
“We are going to have three female officials to join the Playing Control Team (PCT) of six officials at the tournament.
“The previous editions had two female officials, but we have upgraded that number a bit and we are looking in the future where we can have all female officials handle international engagements,” he said.
Ehizoje also added that the national team are in closed camp in Benin in preparation for the tournament.
