Cricket without Boundaries (CWB), a charity organization in England which links cricket awareness, promotion and development with HIV/AIDS in school children and adults is set to make a second tour to Rwanda next month, Times Sport has learnt.

The nine-man team led by Ed Williams and Andy Hobbs (head of cricket development at Sussex country cricket club) will hold a two-week tour from November 8-21.

During this period, the team will conduct a series of activities ranging from a beginners coaching course for adults and teachers to introduce them to the game and how to coach, a level 2 coaching course accredited through ICC and ACA for those with some previous playing or coaching experience, umpire training, general coaching as well as offering some seminars on cricket development.

After reaping big from last year’s tour, Rwanda Cricket Association (RCA) is anxiously looking forward to the second tour.

"After their (CWB) tour last year, there was a realistic improvement in the umpiring. The quality of cricket from our youngsters also improved a great deal,” RCA’s schools development officer Emmanuel Byiringiro noted.
