The 7th edition of the PwC-sponsored Nigeria Cricket Federation National Under-17 Cricket Championship for boys and girls is set to commence on March 11, 2026, at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Oval in Abuja.

This championship follows the successful completion of zonal qualifiers held across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, showcasing the growing interest and talent in youth cricket.

Alhaji Sani Mohammed, a representative of the Nigeria Cricket Federation, stated, “The PwC Under-17 Championship will start tomorrow [today].” He emphasized the importance of grassroots development, noting, “Our development officers work closely with schools in their various zones.” This partnership between PwC and the NCF has remained one of the key drivers of grassroots cricket development in Nigeria.

In addition to the cricket championship, attention is also focused on the ongoing Championship league in England. Middlesbrough has shown impressive form, losing just one of their last 13 league games against Charlton Athletic, with a record of 10 wins and 2 draws.

Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, has struggled in recent encounters, winning only one of their last 17 away league games against Middlesbrough, with 10 losses and 6 draws.

Middlesbrough remains unbeaten in their last five home league games, a streak that includes three wins and two draws. Predictions for their upcoming match against Charlton suggest a strong performance, with one forecast stating, “We say: Middlesbrough 3-0 Charlton Athletic.”

Meanwhile, Coventry City leads the Championship league, having suffered only one loss in their 17 home matches this season. Another prediction for their match against Preston North End reads, “We say: Coventry City 2-0 Preston North End.”

As the Nigeria Cricket Federation prepares for the championship, observers are keen to see how the young talents will perform on the national stage. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the final lineup of teams participating in the tournament.
