For each Southern Brave home fixture in The Hundred, four U13 teams will be invited to take part in our exciting Skills Challenge events, experiencing the thrill of stepping onto the same outfield as some of the world's best players.
Teams will compete in a series of fun and engaging cricket challenges designed to test their all-round abilities, including batting, bowling and fielding.
