Cricket Coach Peter Kanyako Completes ICC Level 2 Coach Tutor Course

Sierra Leonean cricket coach Peter Kanyako has successfully completed the ICC Level 2 Coach Tutor Course held in Accra, Ghana.

Kanyako, who was selected by Cricket Sierra Leone (CSL) to take part in the programme, joined participants from across Africa in the three-day training aimed at strengthening the capacity of cricket coaches on the continent. Successful candidates will be licensed to train and certify coaches in their respective countries, a development expected to accelerate the growth of the sport.

The achievement underscores Cricket Sierra Leone’s continued focus on education, training, and capacity building under the leadership of Board Chairman Francis Trevor Samura. The current administration has prioritized empowering young professionals with the technical skills required to advance cricket at all levels nationwide.

Over the past four years, Cricket Sierra Leone has trained and certified more than 1,025 individuals through various high-performance and development programmes. The organisation currently has 54 ICC Level 1 coaches, 28 ICC Level 2 coaches, 267 trained Criiio facilitators, and over 100 umpires.

In addition, Cricket Sierra Leone is implementing an ambitious programme to train 1,000 Physical and Health Education (PHE) teachers to deliver entry-level cricket across schools in the country. The initiative forms part of the ICC Legacy Programme for Africa, which aims to equip 21,000 teachers across the continent ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup scheduled to be hosted in Africa in 2027.

Peter Kanyako’s successful completion of the ICC Level 2 Coach Tutor Course marks another milestone for Sierra Leone cricket, as the country continues to invest in developing qualified coaches and strengthening the foundation of the sport nationwide.
