August saw Factory Eleven shipping Cricket Factory Core Skills sets out to Japan.

The Japan Cricket Association (JCA) organised a Men and Women’s National Team Tour to the UK for the 150th Anniversary of the FIRST Cricket Match played in Japan and whilst they were here Naoki Alex Miyaji, Japan Cricket Association CEO met with Factory Eleven to discuss his purchase of Cricket Factory Core Skills sets which they intend to use within their ‘Cricket for Smiles’ programme. The aim of the programme is to deliver cricket sets and offer cricket clinics to children in hopes of bringing smiles back to those who experienced the devastation of the 2011 tsunami that hit Japan.
