The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) have kicked off the 6th edition of the National U17 Boys and Girls Cricket Championship, with the zonal eliminations taking place across the country.
The championship, which aims to discover future cricket superstars for Nigeria, will feature six zones, each hosting a tournament to determine the top teams. The zones include South South, South East, North Central, North East, North West, and South West.
Previous editions of the tournament have uncovered talented young cricketers, including Piety Lucky, Lilian Ude, and Prosper Useni. This year’s championship promises to be just as exciting, with teams from 36 states competing for honors.
The zonal eliminations will take place from February 6-12, 2025, with the winners advancing to the final showdown. The dates for the final tournament will be announced by the NCF Board.
The NCF and PwC are committed to developing cricket in Nigeria and providing opportunities for young athletes to showcase their talents.
The U17 Championship is a key part of this effort, and the organizers are excited to see the next generation of cricket stars emerge.
