One of the success stories of Bay of Plenty cricket in the past decade, has been the introduction and continued participation of Year 5 and 6 school pupils in the Mini World Cup.
The Mini World Cup was initiated by Bay of Plenty Cricket eight years ago, to introduce Year
5 and 6 school pupils to the game.
To give the competition the flavour of international cricket, all school teams represent a cricket-playing nation.
The success of the competition is the blending of girls and boys who have previously experienced the game with novice participants.
The purpose of the Mini World Cup is to follow on from the NZ Cricket Have a Go and Kids in Cricket programmes.
