The Inaugural Fusion T20 Cricket Cup

The First Fusion T20 Cricket Cup will be held in Shanghai at the Shanghai Community Sports Club ground during the Dragon Boat Festival from June 7–9, 2019.

CricHQ Training

With the proper training yet to come from CricHQ, the SCC will hold a training session this Friday, April 1 at Hit Wicket at 8:30 pm for anyone interested in learning how to score with the app and/or manage players and teams through the website. A second training will also be held next Wednesday, April 6 at the same time and place.

If you or anyone at your club is interested please let me know. Continue reading “CricHQ Training” →
