From Mahlon Isimeli in Suva (15 January 2011) The Sarafui Cricket Team would like to encourage interested Rotuman youths in Suva to join. The name is not to limit the players to Sarafui only, and we hope to recruit more young men under a neutral name next season. The average age of the group is 16, and we're looking at developing Rotuman youths so they can stand a better chance at making it to national representative level.
