There is also a tournament in Warsaw (Poland) in August which Tallinn Cricket club has tentatively been invited to.

The Estonian Cricket Club is also seeking to establish a 'team' to attempt to introduce Kwik Cricket into schools. The ICC's European Development Officer, Nigel Laughton, has provided the club with great assistance.

The club also now has four certified umpires, following a seminar arranged in Helsinki by the ICC: Kristian Garancis, Risto Koovit, Phillipp John Kershaw Marsdale and Anil Puri.

The visit to Helsinki by the Estonian Cricket Club officials served to further cement cooperation between the ECC and Finnish Cricket Association officials.
