What is MILO T20 Blast

MILO T20 Blast is a fun new program for children aged 8-10. Based on the popular Twenty20 (T20) format of cricket, it has been developed to ensure junior cricketers can progress with confidence from MILO in2CRICKET to competitive club cricket competitions.

MILO T20 Blast aims to:

1. Introduce junior cricketers to competitive competition
2. Provide a fun, action packed and safe environment for kids to play the T20 format of the game
3. Continue to develop skills and techniques learnt in MILO in2CRICKET
4. Maximise participation for all participants.

• 6 kids per side, with all participants bowling and batting
• No need for protective equipment, with a soft style cricket ball (the Incrediball) used
