**My Country's Achievements in the Game of Cricket**
It is no longer a secret that the Nigerian U19 cricket team shocked the world or better still **made history,** in the month of January 2020, by becoming the first Nigerians ever, to play at a Cricket World Cup. Where we got our first win against Japan.

Nevertheless, we did not really go further in the world cup, because the boys did not put on their very best in the competition, as we finished at the 15th position. We did not give out the our best, but we experienced alot from the competition due to the fact that we  played with some of the best young cricketers in the world.

**Development of Cricket In My Country**
I love cricket do much and that's the more reason am writing about it. It has been realised by the Nigeria Cricket Federation that the interesting game of cricket should be present in every school, so as to equally students know more about the game and it's rules.
