Arnos Vale, St. Vincent – The SVG Cricket Association Inc. introduces “Talk Cricket!”, an initiative to encourage more writing and publication about cricket. The intention is to have articles published more frequently on the website of the cricket association (www.svgcricket.org), which will create more considerable interest in the sport and increase the popularity.
While the primary topic for the articles is expected to be SVG cricket, related materials on the sport globally would be welcome. Submissions will go through an approval process before publication.
Contributors would be remunerated for their work. Authors of published articles will receive up to $15 per article.
President of the SVGCA Inc., Dr. Kishore Shallow explained, “This initiative is two-fold in the sense that it gives individuals the opportunity to practice their writing skills while earning some extra dollars and obviously it helps with the promotion of cricket.” He further elaborated, “many options compete for our attention daily, so administrators have to continue to be innovative to ensure that cricket and sports remain relevant… through this initiative, we anticipate an increased interest of Vincentian, both our seniors and youths.”
The Talk Cricket! launch coincides with the upgrade of the website of the SVGCA Inc., which shows an improved fresh look. In addition to more articles, the site is expected to boost more statistics for all national cricket tournaments in SVG.
Prospective writers for Talk Cricket! can contact the association via talkcricket@svgcricket.org or office@svgcricket.org.
