[Diversity]
…age, race, gender and religion do not matter. The game is open and welcoming to all abilities and breaks down boundaries to enhance harmony in the community.
[Fair]
…is run by a unique code where the ‘Spirit’ of the game is more important than the laws. Players are held to a higher moral standard and must respect opponents, teammates and officials. The Spirit of Cricket teaches valuable life lessons applicable to young and old.
