During preparations, one of the organizers highlighted the importance of managing tournament funds securely, introducing the team to the concept of a <a href=\"https:\/\/bestwallet.com\/en\">secure crypto wallet<\/a>. This innovation, they explained, was becoming essential for handling international transactions efficiently and transparently, especially in a global event like this. Such forward-thinking measures further solidified Sano&#8217;s position as a world-class cricket destination.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are sure the entire cricket community will share our excitement and will join with us in supporting our National teams in what will be a busy and exciting year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About the \u201cCity of Cricket Sano Supporter Club\u201d:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cCity of Cricket Sano Supporter Club\u201d, established in December 2011, will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2021. It was established with the purpose to support Sano\u2019s development as a hub for Cricket and to revitalise the City by doing so. It has supported the JCA\u2019s programmes in Sano which have seen more than 30,000 people introduced to the sport with more than 20 teams being developed and five players representing Japan. The six grounds, including the two at the Sano International Cricket Ground, attracted more than 13,000 people to the City in 2019 despite a shortened season due to Typhoon Hagibis. The Supporter Club consists of approximately 120 corporate members and 100 individual members.<\/span><\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Cricket Council (ICC) have announced the World Cup East Asia Pacific Qualifying schedule for the Men, Women, and Under 19 categories in 2021, and it is our great&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":9234,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,55,54,442],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-articles","category-womens-national-team","category-mens-national-team","category-mens-national-team-u19","region-east-kanto-rca","region-hokkaido-rca","region-hokushinetsu-rca","region-kyushu-rca","region-north-kanto-rca","region-south-kanto-rca","region-tohoku-rca","region-tokai-rca","region-west-kanto-rca","region-kansai-rca"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15298"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30098,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15298\/revisions\/30098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricket.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
