Lagos – Joseph Eshua, Coordinator of Howzat Cricket Foundation, on Friday said that the body would continue to support efforts to enhance the growth of the sport in the country.
Eshua told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the body was working with the Nigeria Cricket Federation to provide a bigger platform nationwide for the game.
He said that the engagement of some of its officials with the federation had slowed down the foundation’s programmes, but added that efforts were on to promote cricket at the grassroots.
