Nigeria has continued it’s steady rise in Cricket, with the team to the ICC World Cricket League Division 6 competition,gaining promotion into Division 5.

Nigeria was particularly impressive in the competition,winning their first two matches and having no difficulty defeating Argentina on Sunday.
Captain of the side Adekunle Adegbola said in the post match conference, “it is a great thing to be in Division 5 and I am highly privileged to be the captain of this side, which has been victorious throughout this tournament. “
