The 2023-24 men’s NSW Premier Cricket competition will commence this Saturday, with players from all 20 first-grade teams suiting up in club colours to launch their Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup campaigns.

It is set to be a fast start to the new season, with all five preliminary rounds of the T20 Cup scheduled to be played across the next two weekends, followed closely by a finals series throughout October and the tournament decider booked in for Sunday November 5.

The popular twenty-over tournament takes a new shape this year, with the draw now consisting of four pools made up of five randomised teams, as opposed to the previous structure that saw the competition divide into two conferences consisting of the same clubs year on year.

Cricket Australia Announce 2023 ODI World Cup Squad

Sean Abbott has earned a maiden World Cup berth as Australia named an allrounder-heavy 15-player squad without Marnus Labuschagne for next month's tournament in India.

Although unsurprising given his initial snub from the touring party for the South Africa ODI series, Labuschagne's omission underlines the Aussies' preference for versatility in the 50-over format with three seam-bowling allrounders picked instead.

In fact, Cameron Green was one of the four allrounders selected capable of batting in the top seven (along with Mitch Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell), while frontline bowlers Ashton Agar and Abbott are also capable batters.

Sri Lanka's legendary cricketer Muthiah Muralitharan's biopic "800" will be released on 6th October 2023. This was revealed by Sethumadhavan, one of the three directors of the production company.

"We released the trailer today (Tuesday) and it was unveiled by another great cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. On the occasion, former Sri Lankan captain SAanath Jayasuriya was also present".

"All three has important discussions and shared their days of glory playing with and against each other".

The 51-year-old Sri Lankan off-spinner ended his Test career with 800th wicket on July 22, 2010 in the Test match against India.

Incidentally, Murali is also a son in law of India. He married Madhimalar Ramamurthy, a Chennai native, on 21 March 2005. Madhimalar is the daughter of the late Dr S Ramamurthy of Malar Hospitals in Chennai.

The roles of Murali and his wife are being played by Madhur Mittal and Mahima Nambiyar. Both were present on the occasion.

The shootings of the biopic took place in India, Sri Lanka and England.

After a very disappointing season last summer, the NSW Men’s Cricket team will go ‘back to the future’ in 2023/24 with a host of familiar faces appointed to key roles in a restructure set to reinvigorate the Blues.

In a series of moves designed to restore NSW to the top of domestic cricket, the Blues will look to the support of a group of former players with almost 1000 appearances for NSW and the state’s Big Bash clubs.

On the field, veteran former skipper Moises Henriques will be the all-format captain, ready to add to the 20 previous matches he led the Sheffield Shield side across seven different seasons. He has also captained the Blues One-Day team on 16 occasions.

Voting for nominations on the SACA Board 2023 is now open, and I am excited to have the opportunity to be in the election ballot.

I appreciate we have many passionate cricket followers and many members who care about South Australian Cricket, so if you are as committed as me to make a difference, I would love your support.

You would have received an email from ‘Corpvote Voting Services’, if you could kindly take the time to vote and offer your support for my election, I would be very grateful. You will need your member number when voting.

If you could also pass this message on to your friends, family and colleagues that are fellow SACA Members, I would also really appreciate your help.

Since starting as a young cricketer at Kensington District Cricket Club, I have had the privilege of being raised in a strong cricket environment in SA. Along the journey I have created wonderful relationships with our cricket community and lovers alike, learning what it takes to be involved with a successful cricket organisation, the work it takes to continue to be successful and the need to adapt to change on and off the pitch.
