“PCB and IBCC Collaborate to Enhance Cricket Programs in Schools and Colleges”
The Inter Boards Coordination Commission (IBCC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have formalized their partnership with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to elevate cricket at the school and college levels. In the wake of the MoU, IBCC hosted a consultation workshop to strategize the promotion of domestic cricket among students.
Representatives from various educational boards gathered to discuss and tackle key issues including physical fitness, financial constraints, and facility access for young athletes. The result is the launch of an inter-school and inter-college cricket tournament scheduled to commence in October 2024.
