The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has a highly detailed ten-year development plan — The Strategy to Develop Cricket in China 2005-2015 — which reveals that Cricket Australia, the governing body in that country, provided US $650,000 (about £330,000) of coaching services in China from 2005-06.Rumesh Ratnayake, the former
Sri Lanka fast bowler, has been hired as head coach and last year an extra $400,000 in funding was announced by Malcolm Speed, the ICC chief executive. “As with any investment, timing is critical,” Syed Ashraful Huq, the ACC chief executive, said. “ China has gone from practically no cricket activity one year ago to 51 schools in Beijing and Shanghai playing the game, with close to 6,500 participants.”
