“ Children will be able to play cricket on Saturday and Sundays, and junior cricket teams can visit the academy in Thame to play matches and learn from all different parts of the United Kingdom and World.
“MP Cricket Academy has a detailed timetable for all age groups, this will come out soon on Www.mpsportsacademy.co.uk.
