One in five Australians live with a disability, so it is important opportunities are available for all cricketers. The NCIC provides cricketers who are blind or vision impaired, deaf or hard of hearing and those who have an intellectual disability a chance to represent their state or territory. Cricket plays a key role in so many lives of the Australian public. Representing your State/Territory is always a tremendous honour, but to do so alongside other cricketers identified as the best players in the nation is particularly special which is why these championships are so significant. In 2019, the NCIC are being held in Geelong, being the third year of the event. Five blind and vision impaired teams, five deaf and hard of hearing teams and six intellectually disabled teams will compete, with a deaf and hard of hearing women’s exhibition match taking place for the first time at the event on Sunday 20th January. We look back to the 2018 championships where we saw some outstanding team and individual performances, with South Australia claiming both the deaf and hard of hearing and the intellectually disabled divisions, whilst NSW claimed the blind and vision impaired title. Thank you so much to the Commonwealth Bank, the Victorian State Government, Cricket Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong, Lord’s Taverners Australia, Public Transport Victoria, Gen U and the many volunteers and support staff who make this event possible. To each and everyone of our participants, players, umpires, coaches and volunteers, we wish you all the best throughout the tournament and hope you will enjoy the experience. Kevin Roberts Chief Executive Officer, Cricket Australia SPONSORS & VALUED EVENT PARTNERS NCIC.COM.AU NCIC.COM.AU 3 WELCOME MINISTER FOR SPORT, TOURISM AND MAJOR EVENTS, MARTIN PAKULA On behalf of the Victorian Government, welcome to the sporting and major events capital of Australia and proud host of the 2019 National Cricket Inclusion Championships. Victoria lives and breathes sport and no one puts on a show like we do. We’re home to some of the biggest regional events in Australia including the ISPS Handa Vic Golf Open, the Stawell Gift and the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. Geelong is famous for its stunning waterfront and bustling urban precinct and over the next five days Australia’s best all-abilities cricketers and officials as well as their families, friends and supporters will get to experience this wonderful city. Events like these present a great opportunity to showcase our fantastic regions and that’s why the Victorian Government is proud to be supporting them through the $17.7 million Significant Sporting Events Program. More than 500 events have been funded through the Significant Sporting Events Program alone and more than half of those events were held in regional Victoria, boosting local jobs and economies. When you’re not at the cricket I encourage you to explore the many things our beautiful state and region have to offer. I wish all competitors the very best of luck over the next week and hope everyone enjoys this year’s 2019 National Cricket Inclusion Championships. Hon Martin Pakula MP Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events 4 2019 NATIONAL CRICKET INCLUSION CHAMPIONSHIPS CITY OF GREATER GEELONG On behalf of the City of Greater Geelong, it’s my pleasure to welcome you back to our region for the National Cricket Inclusion Championships. We’re thrilled to be hosting this important tournament for the third year in a row, with more teams competing in 2019 than ever before. Throughout this week our local grounds will be the stage for the nation’s best cricketers with a disability, competing across three divisions: blind and vision impaired, deaf and hard of hearing, and cricketers with an intellectual disability. We are pleased that this year’s fixture will also see the introduction of two women’s deaf exhibition matches, with a view to including female divisions in the event in future years. Geelong is a sports-loving city with a rich cricket history. The Barwon Region has the highest regional cricket participation rate in Victoria, with over 7,000 registered players. We also take pride in the high standard of our local cricket grounds, which we believe are some of the best in the state. I hope you find them enjoyable venues to play or spectate at this week. This tournament is one of a number of major sporting events and festivals in Geelong during the summer. The Melbourne Renegades have just played two home Big Bash matches at Kardinia Park, while the Australia Day weekend will see both the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race and the Festival of Sails come to town. If you have an opportunity to stay for a couple of extra days at the end of the championships, I’d highly recommend it – it’s going to be a fantastic weekend. Geelong aims to be an inclusive and accessible place for everyone, and the National Cricket Inclusion Championships promote a positive message to people living with a disability and our community as a whole. There’s no doubt people of all ages and backgrounds will be encouraged and inspired by the high level of play on show. Best of luck to all players and officials for a successful tournament, and I hope you enjoy your time exploring Greater Geelong. CR Bruce Harwood Mayor, City of Greater Geelong NCIC.COM.AU 5 6 2019 NATIONAL CRICKET INCLUSION CHAMPIONSHIPS PLAYERS TO WATCH CRICKETERS WITH AN INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY HAYDN BRUMM (QLD) ALL-ROUNDER 17/18 BATTING AVERAGE: 81.00 17/18 BOWLING AVERAGE: 12.43 A key all-rounder for the Queensland team, Haydn has proven his ability on the International stage, as well as domestically. Haydn has developed his game on the indoor cricket courts, to now be one of the most versatile players in the Championships. CHRIS MCQUEEN (SA) BATTER 17/18 BATTING AVERAGE: 42.60 17/18 HIGHEST SCORE: 86* With his clean hitting skills and ability to pick gaps, he will be key in any South Australian innings.

DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING KORY BOOTH (WA) BOWLER 17/18 BOWLING AVERAGE: 11.57 17/18 BEST BOLWING: 4/12 A consistent medium pacer who topped the wickets tally for Western Australia at last year’s Championships.

AUSTIN PHILIP (NSW) ALL-ROUNDER 17/18 BATTING AVERAGE: 74.33 17/18 BOWLING AVERAGE: 32.67 One of NSW’s best young prospects, recently being selected in the Australian Deaf and Hard of Hearing team to travel to India at only 18 years of age.

DANIEL PRITCHARD (VIC) BOWLER 17/18 BOWLING AVERAGE: 27.00 17/18 BEST BOWLING: 2/19 Another experienced player who can send the ball down with a great deal of pace.

Ratified October 2005 Second Revision @ January 2007 Updated May 2007 THE WORLD BLIND CRICKET COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL PLAYING RULES This document was Re-written and amended by: Tim Guttridge for the World Blind Cricket Council In this document He, His, Him, Player, Batsman Fielder, and Bowler all refer to Both genders. No individual will be excluded from any level of international competition due to race, religion, gender or age. QUOTE FROM THE MCC LAWS OF CRICKET 2003 The Spirit of Cricket “Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains. There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team's conduct firmly on the captain. RESPONSIBILITY OF CAPTAINS The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws. 1. Players’ conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticising by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player's captain, and instruct the latter to take action.

Much like the UN, the ICC brings representatives from all cricket-playing countries together to make administrative decisions about the future of cricket. Unlike the UN, however, not all countries have an equal input; the ICC decides which members are worthy of “Test” status (Full Members), and which are not (Associate Members). While the Council has experienced many successes, including hosting the prestigious World Cup and promoting cricket at a grassroots level, it also continues to receive its fair share of criticism, predominantly regarding the ICC’s perceived obstruction of the growth of the game within non- traditionally cricketing nations and prioritizing the commercialization of the sport over globalizing it.
