Packed with exclusive cricket content, quizzes and activities to practise at home and with friends, the app will allow your child to track their Dynamos Cricket journey as they progress, unlocking new content and skills challenges as they go.
Dynamos is aimed at complementing junior cricket, so children can do both if they wish! Find out more about junior cricket formats here.
