NSW Breaker, wicketkeeper-batter Kate Pelle and NSW Blue Ryan Hicks will travel to Lismore and Ballina to meet the state’s youngest cricketers and cricket lovers with one mission: to inspire everyone to play and love cricket.
On Wednesday, August 6, Pelle and Hicks are set to visit an after-school cricket clinic in Lismore where the local association will be launching their new cricket age grouping and formats for the upcoming season.
On Thursday, August 7, the players will travel to Ballina and attend a lunchtime blast and participate in a girls’ cricket program. They will also attend a Sydney Sixers School Smash Gala Day in Ballina with 100 children from five schools participating in the program.
‘Cricket is an integral part of Australia’s great sporting tradition. Our mission at Cricket NSW is to inspire every child in the state to play and love the game,’ said Cricket NSW’s Chief Community Cricket Officer, Martin Gleeson.
Registrations to play cricket this season are open with local clubs for children inspired by this opportunity to learn from their cricketing heroes.
