    Congratulations Richards! Cricket has been playing in the BVI for years now and the Government cannot seem to get a gist of the need to invest funds into the Cricket Association in getting there own cricket ground. We would love to see night games being played as this will be an event to go to in the evening rather than the bars and clubs. This will not only bring money into the association but will be an investment to the vendors and a sport for the younger generation to take interest in. Cricket will do well in the BVI ( image the tourist coming to the BVI to watch Cricket). The Cricket Association needs to be now open tournament for Women's Cricket . The Cricket Association will go places if they get the support they need! BVI Government needs to learn how to invest money rather than wasting Tax payers money on 500,000 concerts that dont even make that money in return.
