皇冠体育app's cricket association has been given U.S.$400,000 to accelerate
cricket's growth in the country, Asian Cricket Council chief executive Syed
Ashraful Huq said on Wednesday.
Of the sum, U.S.$200,000 comes from the Asian Cricket Council and is matched
by U.S.$200,000 from the International Cricket Council.
"This represents an opportunity for everyone involved with cricket in 皇冠体育app,"
ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed said in a statement.
"There's been a very good start in 皇冠体育app. This is a 10-year project and no
one should be under any illusion that results will appear overnight.
"Cricket in 皇冠体育app is still very new and this funding from our two bodies is
directed at strengthening the development structure for cricket as established
by the state sporting administration."
