The Sorrento Cricket Club is very excited to announce the signing of Dimitri Mascarenhas as our Club Captain/Coach for season 2024-25.

‘Dimi’, as he is affectionately known around the club, represented England in both ODI and T20 formats, and during one match against India in 2007, deposited Yuvraj Singh for five consecutive sixes to close out their innings.

He has an ECB Level 3 coaching qualification and has held coaching roles at Hampshire, Middlesex, the Rajasthan Royals and the Hobart Hurricanes. In June 2015, after a tenure as the head coach of domestic side, Otago, Dimi was appointed as a full-time bowling coach with New Zealand.

He brings a wealth of experience to the role and we are very excited for him to begin working with the club across all grades - especially our junior cricketers.

Please join us in wishing Dimi and his family, including sons Lenny and Viv, a very warm welcome to the club and the extended Sorrento community.

Sam Nogajski, the back-to-back Australian umpire of the year, will make his senior men's ICC event debut at the T20 World Cup

For the past 15 years, Sam Nogajski reckons he's had every decision he's ever made scrutinised.

That scrutiny is only going to ramp up from today as the 45-year-old high school maths teacher heads to the Caribbean and United States for his first senior men's ICC World Cup.

The Queensland Cricket Foundation is backing a campaign to have all KFC Queensland Premier Cricket club grounds outfitted with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) unit for the 2024-25 season.

The Foundation is aiming to raise $15,000 as part of an end of financial year fundraising campaign to provide the final five AED units to ensure 100 percent of Premier club venues are covered by the life-saving equipment.

That will mean all fields used during the summer by Premier clubs will always have a unit accessible, whether during playing, training or if a member of the public requires urgent medical attention.

Sea Eagles Sign South African Bowling All-Rounder

Thando Ntini is an exciting prospect and son of Proteas legend Makhaya Ntini. 💯

Like his father, Thando is an opening bowler who has enjoyed plenty of success during his career to date. The 23-year-old seamer has represented South Africa at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in January 2018; and was picked up by the South Africa Emerging Players in 2019.

He has starred at both provincial and Franchise level for Western Province, Cape Cobras, Titans, and most recently KwaZulu-Natal Coastal, as well as the Dolphins. In all the young quick has played 21 First-Class matches, picking up 44 wickets at an average of 33.

Thando has picked up 26 List A wickets, including best bowling figures of 4-36 on his Momentum One Day Cup debut for the Cobras back in February 2020. In T20 Cricket, Ntini has 24 wickets to date from his 25 matches.

Last summer, Ntini travelled to the UK ahead of the 2023 season. The talented bowler was instrumental in Lordswood Cricket Club's Kent Premier League victory scoring 416 runs at an average of 32, alongside his 28 wickets at an impressive 22.25.

Lordswood went on to re-sign their South African star for the ongoing UK 2024 season. At the conclusion of the English Summer, Thando will travel to Australia, joining up with Brisbane Grade side, Wynnum Manly District Cricket Club.

The 'Sea Eagles' will be looking forward to welcoming the South African seamer into their ranks for the upcoming 2024/25 campaign.

I am delighted to share that I am appointed as a Multicultural Ambassador for Cricket Australia 🏏

I strongly believe that each ambassador, with their unique strengths and experiences, serves as a vital pillar, bringing immense value to our community. Cricket, as a common passion, fosters connections and facilitates communication between our communities. With extensive experience in this field, I am eager to strengthen the bond between hashtag#Australia and hashtag#India. This role will be a fantastic platform to engage with the 1.5 million South Asians in Australia, empowering them to achieve their full potential.

I look forward to applying my experiences as a Champion for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 and collaborating once again with some of my fellow Champions. Additionally, I am excited to work with a broader group to foster people-to-people connections through sport.

I am committed to supporting the 5 main areas of the Multicultural Action Plan and making a significant impact on our communities.

Let's unite people through cricket.

A little proud dad moment.

In the the midst of zillion things happening around me, I'm super happy to share the great news that Kaya has been honoured with the ‘Junior Female Player of the Year’ and the ‘Best Batter of the Year' award by Cricket NSW for U13 girls. I believe, she might be the youngest recipient in the history of Cricket NSW to receive these awards. This has been a fabulous present for her 12th birthday.

Congratulations to all the other super talented award winners as well - it was truly an outstanding and jam packed event!

Throughout the rep season, Kaya broke numerous records, notably becoming the highest aggregate run scorer in junior girls rep/district cricket history, including U15, with an impressive 399 runs at an average of 99.75 with a strike-rate just over 100%. This includes a quick fire of 106*, playing just 9 games of 30 over Mollie Dive matches, and also making her the youngest to achieve this milestone. Kaya has also had taken 7 wickets along with 9 catches as a Vice-Captain for Parramatta. In addition, she has done some handy contributions playing in U15 comp as well.

Also, Kaya scored more than 1,000+ runs 2 years in a row and taken several wickets (61+42) playing club matches with boys and senior girls too.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to all the coaches at PDCA and PWGCC for allowing her to train with the grade players. Without your support, her success wouldn't have been possible.

Hope she continues to play the game we love this way for some more years... although she's the top basketball player in the state.

G'day all. Just a heads-up about the middle grade kids' book 'Spirit of the Warriors' that will be released later this year by Crack-A-Story Publishing. The manuscript will soon be going to the printer and will be released in time for India's next cricket tour to Australia later this year. Here's a tease from the blurb. Smiles from afar, Knighty.

'It’s the start of an Australian summer, and a drought is raging in the bush. For strapping farm boy, Jack Riordan, swinging a cricket bat is the best way to escape from daily hardships. But what happens when an Indian family arrives in the small town of Stony Creek to begin a new life?

Suddenly, Jack is no longer the number one player in the district. That honour belongs to Ajeet Sharma who quickly becomes the star of the local school. Despite jealousies and misunderstandings, the boys must somehow work together on the field.

As their journey progresses, they learn each has painful secrets that have affected their lives. What are they? And what can the boys learn from them? The answers come from the strength of human spirit. From the author of 'My Life: Brett Lee' comes the story of Ajeet and Jack, and the unpredictable fortunes of the Stony Creek Public School cricket team.'
