KWIK CRICKET
The England & Wales Cricket Board are delighted to be partnering with
the International Cricket Council on the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. A
celebration of the World’s 10 greatest cricket teams, who will be playing
48 matches across 10 venues in England and Wales from May to July 2019,
culminating with the final at Lord’s
Kwik Cricket was originally launched in 1988.
The equipment is made from lightweight,
durable plastic and is designed specifically for
use with children between the ages of 5 and
11. There are three different sizes of bat and
the equipment has been constantly improved
to meet the requirements of today’s children,
teachers, coaches, young leaders, parents
and other adults who help our future young
cricketers. The emphasis on Kwik Cricket should
always be on participation and enjoyment.
In practice, any number of children can play,
from 2 to 32. Simply adapt the game to your
own particular environment in terms of time
available and numbers playing. In this booklet
we have suggested a number of game formats
that can be adapted as necessary.
