Hi Amit,
The best drills to use would be inclusive, engaging and fun drills where all participants are engaged at all times. You can set-up drills of Diamond Cricket or Kwik Cricket which are great simple drills to engage players of all abilities. Another great drill to get the competition going between players is Pick Up On Turn And Throw To Run Out Station. It`s easy to set-up and pick up for those that are new to Cricket. I hope this was helpful and good luck for the open house session!

Pick up on turn and throw to run out station
DESCRIPTION
The batsman calls 'yes' to start the drill and tries to run 2 lengths whilst the fielder (player 1) runs out to meet the stationary ball, picks it up and throw it back to the wicket keeper (thus trying to run out the batter). The coach decides which team has won and both players return to the back of their respective lines. Drill continues in this way.
