ASDA Kwik Cricket
ASDA Kwik Cricket is a simple game for all boys and girls from 5 years upwards to get involved in a new-look programme. It is the result of many years of detailed product development and research by the England and Wales Cricket Board in consultation with cricket coaches, education authorities, teachers and children.
The game is played in different formats with an Awards Scheme to test the children's skills as they develop.
