🇨🇴🏏 Cricket Colombia, with support from ICC Americas, has conducted an ICC Level 1 umpire course for umpires in Colombia and across the region.

Considering 🇨🇴 Colombia is not an ICC member, courses like this can go a long way in improving the overall quality of cricket in the country.

Huge appreciation to ICC Americas for conducting this, and hopefully we see more courses like this in non-ICC member countries to help fast-track their cricketing development. 👏🌎
