New cricket competition, The Hundred, is back in August for its second year and has recruited the help of ten children to create an immersive stadium build in Minecraft.
The creation of the virtual stadium will look to bring cricket into the world of young fans and excite them about the competition, reported Sport Industry Group.
Young Minecraft fans from across the country were invited to take part in The Hundred’s ‘Every Block Counts’ competition, drawing, painting, sketching or building their ultimate cricket stadium experience. There were no limits on what it could contain.
Built in Minecraft space, the world features a see-through wicket with changing rooms views, a rollercoaster, a rainbow arch, a sea creature moat flowing around the pitch’s boundary and a rooftop nature garden. This is the first ever sports stadium built in the world-famous gaming platform through a kids competition.
