Fiji Cricket Coach Calls for More International Exposure and Gametime

Fiji's Men's Cricket assistant head coach, Jone Seuvou, is advocating for increased international exposure and more competitive matches for the national side. He highlighted a significant lack of opportunities for the team to play friendly games against neighboring countries throughout the year.

Seuvou explained that the national team primarily gets game time from local tournaments. However, he believes this is insufficient preparation for major international events like the Olympic Qualifiers, as it does not provide the necessary tough competition.

"It'll be no use if we just keep playing against local teams here because there's no real competition here, and we can grow if we don't have tough competition," Seuvou stated. He emphasized the need to play against strong overseas opposition to elevate the team's performance.

According to Seuvou, the standard of the game cannot be lifted if the team's only opponents are local. He stressed that playing against tougher international teams is crucial for the development and readiness of the Fijian national cricket team for global competitions.
