What to do when there is no cricket

 

Sometimes it is not possible to get out to play cricket - it might be raining, you might be injured, stuck in a car or not feeling very well. For some of us this can be difficult as we really love cricket and miss it, so below we have put together some activities and games that you can do until you can get back out on the field again with your friends and family. 

We hope that you enjoy the activities and if you do some and would like to share them with us, please send them to info@devoncricket.co.uk and we will share them in a gallery.
