Derbyshire Cricket Board Performance Manager Chris Porter commented: "This is a fantastic opportunity for nine of our talented young cricketers to train in a different climate and take another step towards one day becoming professional cricketers.

"The players will get to work with the ECB Coach Education Development Team and - with the DVD being distributed so widely - it will bring excellent recognition to Derbyshire cricket and give our youngsters the opportunity to showcase their skills."
