RIYADH: The Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation has stated its intention to make a positive contribution to the sport both in the Kingdom and around the world.
It aims to explore opportunities in the sport, both domestically and internationally, with the aim of accelerating its growth and development.
SAC said in a statement that it is striving to make an impact, although the current focus is on creating a robust program at grassroots level to increase participation while building a world-class infrastructure which will enable the country to host marquee events in the future.
Prince Saud bin Mishal Al-Saud, the federation’s chairman, said: “We are excited about the potential of cricket in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
“Our goal is to ensure that everything we do helps elevate the game, inspire the next generation of players, and create a positive impact in the world around us.
“We are aware there is much speculation and understand and appreciate the interest from all parties.
“However, we are committed to approaching our journey in an open and transparent manner, with the best interests of the cricket community driving every decision we make. We are eager to work with various stakeholders and partners to develop a thriving cricket ecosystem that will be enjoyed by everyone.”
SAC remains dedicated to the long-term growth and success of the sport and looks forward to sharing more information about its strategy in the coming months.
