From grassroots programmes introducing young players to the game to the national teams competing on the international stage, cricket is creating new opportunities for communities and aspiring players. The Rwanda Cricket Invitational offers visiting teams the chance to experience this developing cricket culture first-hand, compete against opposition and support the continued growth of the game through community activities.
