Cricket Inclusion CRICKET INCLUSION GEELONG VIC 17 - 24 JAN 2017 SPONSORS & VALUED EVENT PARTNERS Geelong Cricket Association 2 | NCIC.CRICKET.COM.AU WELCOME NATIONAL CRICKET INCLUSION CHAMPIONSHIPS The Victorian Government is proud to support the 2017 National Cricket Inclusion Championships, another date on our State’s events calendar that is the envy of the world. Victoria lives and breathes sport. We’re home to some of the biggest events in the world including the recent Boxing Day Test and the upcoming T20 double header at Simonds Stadium. We’re delighted to stage the 2017 National Cricket Inclusion Championships in Geelong. The Championships will feature more than 200 players competing in three divisions; blind and vision impaired, deaf and hard of hearing, and cricketers with an intellectual disability. With games being played in Twenty20 format, the Championships will be the first time that these three divisions will be played as part of one competition. Competitors and spectators can look forward to an action-packed competition and a great atmosphere with something for everyone. The Victorian Government is proud to have provided support to Cricket Victoria and Cricket Australia through the Significant Sporting Events Program to stage this fantastic event in Geelong until 2019. Events like these provide an opportunity to shine the spotlight on Victoria and our world-class sports and entertainment venues. Significant events not only build on our reputation as the sporting capital of the world but further our standing as a multicultural, inclusive, and liveable State. I invite all our guests to experience all the delights Victoria has to offer starting with Geelong. There’s an enviable array of stunning parks and open spaces, breathtaking waterfronts, museums, galleries and family-friendly beaches to enjoy. I wish all visitors, competitors and officials a safe and exciting National Cricket Inclusion Championships and an enjoyable stay here in Victoria. HON JOHN EREN MP Minister for Sport, Tourism and Major Events WELCOME On behalf of the City of Greater Geelong, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the region for the National Cricket Inclusion Championships. We are thrilled to host approximately 200 of our nation’s best cricket players with a disability, as well as the many coaches, support staff, family, friends and spectators. Geelong is a thriving sports hub home of the Cats and host to many major events including the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, Festival of Sails and the International Australian Airshow. We have some of the best cricket grounds in the state and it is going to be terrific to see Australia’s leading cricketers displaying their skills and athleticism in a week of T20 and One Day matches on our turf. Geelong has a rich cricket history with our Barwon Region having the highest regional cricket participation rate in Victoria with over 7,000 players. Geelong is also an inclusive city with a national profile in social inclusion and disability with the headquarters of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) in Central Geelong. We also host of the annual ‘Having a Say’ conference, the largest of its kind in Australia. The National Cricket Inclusion Championships tournament promotes a positive message of inclusion to the community and to people living with a disability. It will be fantastic to see more people of all ages and backgrounds encouraged and inspired by this competition. Best of luck to all of the players and officials involved in the championships. Enjoy spending time in Greater Geelong and exploring the region. PETER DORLING City of Greater Geelong Administrator 4 | NCIC.CRICKET.COM.AU Welcome to Geelong for the Cricket Australia National Cricket Inclusion Championships. For the first time, cricketers with an intellectual disability will play alongside deaf and hard of hearing, and blind and vision impaired cricketers in a National Championships. Australian cricket is determined to continue making the game more accessible to people from all walks of life. One in five Australians live with a disability, so it is important to provide meaningful opportunities for cricketers who are blind, deaf or have an intellectual disability. Those players now have the chance to represent their state or territory. It is all about providing people with opportunities to play the game and reach their full potential. It is a big year for Australian Cricket and it is only going to get bigger with this National Cricket Inclusion Championships, which wouldn’t be a possibility without great support from around the country. Thank you to the Commonwealth Bank, Victorian Government, Cricket Victoria, City of Greater Geelong, Lord’s Taverners Australia and Karingal St Laurence for your support. It’s now over to the officials, teams, tournament staff and most importantly the players to get the 2017 Cricket Australia National Cricket Inclusion Championships started. Good luck to everyone involved.

  • Cricket Australia
    Cricket: Cricket Australia ‘The long term future of the game is dependent upon embracing all people irrespective of their age, gender, race, religion or ability’.1 Much more than a game ricket is very much a world game. The International Cricket Council was founded in 1909 by Australia, England and South Africa. These three founding members have Cbeen joined by seven further full members, 32 associate members and 54 affiliate members. The game now boasts 96 member countries from all parts of the globe. Cricket has been an important part of the Australian way of life for over a century. It is part of our national psyche and firmly entrenched in Australian culture. Famous players like Sir Donald Bradman and Steve Waugh are idolised and some of the great Test Matches – such as the infamous Bodyline series – have become important moments in our nation’s brief history. Cricket is our nation’s main summer sport in terms of participants, spectators and media coverage. However, it is sometimes seen as an exclusive game, one reserved for certain groups in Australian society. Cricket Australia is adamant this is not the case and wants to change this perception. Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer (CEO) James Sutherland said: “Cricket is a genuinely national sport and for that to continue into the future, we must ensure it remains a game for all Australians to access, to participate and to be involved in”.2 Cricket Australia Cricket Australia is the governing body of the game in Australia. It is made up of six member associations: Cricket New South Wales; Queensland Cricket; South Australian Cricket Association; Tasmanian Cricket Association; Cricket Victoria; and Western Australian Cricket Association.
