PARAGRAPH CORRECTION

"People are practising cricket this sunday at 9 am at Student Recreation Complex ground. Anybody who is interested in practising the game before the tournament next week are invited to join the practise match. This will be a good training session to learn the game for people who haven't played before!".

Americans only use "practice" for both noun and verb, so I'll leave that aspect of your question to others. People are practising cricket (Or: Cricket practice will be held ) this S unday at 9 am at the Student Recreation Complex ground s *. Anybody who is interested in practising the game before the (omit) next week 's tournament is invited to join the practise match.
