The Power of Faith Ministries (PFM) Twenty/20 Church Cricket League begins next Saturday at Lime Tree Oval in St Catherine.

In a new twist, the organisers plan to enforce the 30m circle for the first six overs in which a maximum of five players are permitted outside the circle to enable batsmen to get more runs. There is also a special award for the best Under-16 player.
