Thai school children have a go at cricket
Children from Baan Kata Primary School, Phuket, were given one hour’s coaching each day, and on the final day of the tournament took part in a Thai kids demonstration cricket match. One of the aims of the Lighthouse Phuket International Cricket Sixes is to encourage local children to play the game of cricket and help the sport grow and develop in Phuket.

The children show a natural flair for the game...
...and very quickly learn to bowl with a straight arm!
Tournament Director Brad Tarr, Brian Jacks of title sponsor Lighthouse Property and coach Imran Idress look on as the children show how much they’ve learned
Before the finals of the tournament, the children were given the chance to show what they had learned over the last four days in front of all the players and spectators
Cheered on by an enthusiastic audience the children put on an impressive display with several sixes clearing the boundary
When not learning cricket, these primary school children were acting as ballboys, scampering up the bank to search for balls hit into the trees
