“Corporate 2020 Cricket Series is providing a unique opportunity to play sport and network at the same time,” he said.

For Joe Long, Principal of business coaching consultancy, Longvision, the series is not only good for networking, but great for internal team building.
“In the office every employee has an assumed role and expectations that by nature set a serious tone that can be competitive and dividing, often singling out individuals either through their success or their failings,” he said.
