COUNTRY BLITZ

The Country Blitz, Cricket NSW’s annual regional engagement tour, transitioned from an online event the previous two years back to face-to-face activities from August 29-31, 2022. Thirty-seven contracted CNSW players embarked on the tour, visiting schools, clubs, and community groups across various locations including Kingscliff, Newcastle, Merimbula, Albury, Narromine, and Tamworth. In total, they visited 115 schools, clubs, and community events in 73 towns throughout the state over the two days.

Among the players participating in the tour were Australian representatives Kurtis Patterson, Moises Henriques, Trent Copeland, Hannah Darlington, Lauren Cheatle, and Stella Campbell. Rising stars like Ollie Davies, Jason Sangha, and Phoebe Litchfield also joined them.

Homecoming

It was a heartwarming moment when Sydney Sixers star Maitlan Brown visited her old primary school, Wingham Brush Public School, near Taree. TV cameras were there to capture every moment of Brown and fellow Sixers player Kurtis Patterson connecting with the children.
