“There are 52 now signed up for the Dynamos which starts to focus more on the skills and the games with them being the older players.”
Major is keen to emphasise the importance of juniors for the future of his club.
He added: “Rather than just focus on getting new signings in every season the way to make the club stronger is to ensure the juniors are coming up through the ranks.

“I am also hoping to have a few days of cricket courses lined up for the first week of the summer holidays and some more in the fifth or sixth week of the holidays.”
