Twelve young athletes from across Toronto will be flying to Great Britain to take their place in the 2014 CIMA Toronto Mayor’s Cricket Team.
The team will be participating in the Cricket Across the Pond scholarship program, travelling to England, where they’ll learn leadership, be ambassadors for Toronto – and play the London Mayor’s Team in London on July 18.
The program was started seven years ago by Toronto Mayor David Miller and continued by his successor, Mayor Rob Ford.
