Initially, MCA aimed to organize regular training sessions at some secondary schools in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. MCA sent some cricket equipment to Mongolia for Mongolian cricketers and students to help them become more interested in the game. The first cricket introductory program in Mongolia was launched by MCA at secondary school number 34 in May 2013 in Ulaanbaatar. The cricket program was four weeks long and resumed during the next school term. MCA has plans to introduce cricket into more secondary schools in Ulaanbaatar.
