Malteenoes Sports Club yesterday launched a cricket academy where 70 youths will participate in an intensive cricket training programme, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.
At the launch, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Charles Ramson Jr, underscored the importance of combining academics with sport.
“I want to transfer this now to your academics. Don’t think today that you can succeed in the sporting world without being good in school, at least up to a certain level,” the minister said.
