The Ben Williams Cricket Academy continues to attract young cricketers from around the world.
This summer 10 cricketers are living at the academy in Te Puna enjoying a full-on cricket experience of daily training and coaching at the covered nets facility.
The cricketers aged 18 and 19 are from the Netherlands, England and Scotland and play for local clubs in the weekend.
Head coach Williams had four overseas players last summer and he says the new intake all have the right attitude.
"They have come here willing to develop their skills so they follow the programme we have put in place that covers everything including strength and conditioning and cricket development," Williams said.
