“While we acknowledge the successes, triumphs and fame achieved by many of our bowlers, we realize that competition has become so tough at present that we have to refocus on how we can elevate our game to be able to compete more efficiently and effectively. We believe this will help in regaining the previous standing the country has had before in this sport.”
The PBF said the move is the federation’s way to keep up with the times, while hoping to reintroduce the sport to the younger audience.
