I’d like to ask about Cricket NSW partnership with the Washington franchise in the Major League Cricket in the United States.
Is someone able to share what benefit the relationship will bring to Cricket in New South Wales?
Is there a financial benefit that will help grow community cricket throughout the state?

Hi Ben

Thank you for the question.

The Washington Freedom partnership and also our partnership with Major League Cricket has a number of benefits.

• Enables us to diversify our revenue and generate income that can be reinvested back into the game in NSW.
• Provides playing opportunities for NSW based cricketers in the Minor Cricket League and Major Cricket League in the USA.
• Provides professional development opportunities for coaching, support staff and administration staff.
• We are directly involved in discussions with the “power brokers” of world cricket i.e. the IPL clubs to help us understand the future of cricket and assist us to retain relevancy in a quickly changing global cricket landscape.
• Provides opportunities for inbound USA and USA based teams to play against our teams in NSW.

Best wishes
