The appeal of cricket in the Australian community reaches far and wide, as was demonstrated earlier this month with 300 families from culturally diverse backgrounds invited to the KFC T20 Big Bash League match between the Sydney Thunder and Sydney Sixers at ANZ Stadium.

On the night, 20 kids dressed in attire symbolising their cultural heritage were selected to form a Guard of Honour for the players. They then joined NSW Premier, The Hon. Barry O’Farrell MP, and Cricket NSW Chairman, Dr Harry Harinath OAM, for a photo on the field.

Cricket NSW is committed to making cricket the favourite sport for every person across NSW. With the ever changing face of communities in NSW cricket is adapting to meet the diverse needs of all people in NSW.

We currently provide many wide and varied options for people in our Community to actively participate in Cricket programs relevant to their specific needs. Whether your interest lies in Girls Cricket, Multicultural and Indigenous programs, Disabled cricket or even Lifestyle offerings, Cricket NSW has opportunities for you to become involved.

No matter what cultural background, age or ability level, Cricket NSW can assist you in your quest to get involved in Cricket. To find out more, contact your local Game Development Manager by clicking here.
