The initiative has been expanded to include Barbados
Republic Bank and Cricket West Indies have officially renewed their partnership for the 2026 staging of the Primary Schools ‘Five for Fun’ Cricket Programme, reaffirming their shared commitment to youth development and grassroots cricket across the Caribbean.
Five for Fun, which is entering its sixth year, provides boys and girls aged 7–11 with structured access to the sport. The initiative seeks to introduce children to the fundamentals of the game through a modern and exciting format.
The 2026 season will run from April to September, hosted in Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago. This year, the programme continues its regional expansion with the addition of Barbados to the roster.
