: I am trying to organize a group of 10 - 12 people for a game of wheelchair cricket. I have a few friends who would gladly coach us in how to play cricket. Hopefully, we can get a match scheduled somewhere indoors or before it gets too hot if it's outdoors. Please contact me if you'd like to play or know anyone who would. Thanks.
