The equipment was sent to forces in the country, presented by former Test player Mike Gatting.[4] In April 2007 Wisden writer Tony Munroe covered the efforts of Major Andrew Banks, who toured schools in Iraq with a detachment of the Royal Air Force handing out cricket equipment and explaining the laws of cricket to teachers.[5] He recorded that "after some simple explanation of the basic rules of cricket (through an interpreter) and a quick demonstration by members of the RAF, the Iraqi children joyfully hit the ball around the playground. I duly handed over the set to the games mistress and she in turn professed to be keen to allow her charges to play on a regular basis."[6] He noted that "The teachers have seen a lot of projects come out of the West so they were sceptical until they saw the kids having fun" and that "They never quite understood the lbw law but they enjoyed themselves and that was what mattered."[5]
