BCB President, Lloyd Fray, said: “I am very excited that Axis Capital have partnered with the BCB to help develop our girl’s cricket program. We have many avid young girls in our academy and youth programs that will now have a stronger opportunity to shine and progress in our great sport.

“With the recent securing of the significant scholarship for Leilanni Nesbeth to attend Bedes from last September we hope many young ladies will strive to follow in her footsteps. I am especially encouraged by the involvement of cricket loving employees in Axis that are working with the BCB Girls Development Committee.”

Denise Hollis, Underwriting Assistant of Axis Capital, said: “Axis is very proud to be able to work with the BCB and BSSF to provide safe and fun opportunities for our girls to enjoy our national sport.

“The BCB has provided the schools with training plans and lesson plans in addition to some hands-on support to allow more girls a chance to play. The BCB worked with the BSSF last year to introduce a primary school league in addition to the existing Super 8 festival day.

” We are looking forward to the inaugural Axis All-Star Day at National Stadium on June 16 that will feature the top players from all across the country.”
