As the unseasonal weather continues to bless this area, The Murcia region of the Spanish Cricket National and Academy players used the opportunity to have their first training session of the year.
2016 is massively important year for Spanish Cricket as it aims to gain division one International status.
To achieve this they will be participating in an International T20 tournament in Stockholm, Sweden this August, the winners will move up to division one.
Clearly focused on this goal the players will be attending regular training sessions in the area helping them to maintain and improve their fitness, skill and technique.
Other similar sessions are also being held in the Valencia region, Madrid and Barcelona all focused on achieving the same objective.
