GRASSROOTS CRICKET FUND ROUND EXTENDED
We know this is a busy time of year for volunteers, so we’ve extended the Grassroots Cricket Fund.
📅 New Closing Date: Sunday September 28th, 2025, 11:59pm (AEST)
The Grassroots Cricket Fund can provide grants of up to $3,000 for initiatives such as:
✅ Growing participation (junior programs, women & girls, multicultural and inclusive cricket)
✅ Enhancing the player and volunteer experience (playing kits, girls uniforms, pilot programs)
✅ Building stronger clubs (planning, technology, training, volunteer recognition)
✅ Creating safe, welcoming, and inclusive environments
If your club has an idea and needs funding, please speak with your State or Territory Cricket Manager for written approval and support. For all the details visit: grassrootscricketfund.com.au

Equip yourself with practical strategies to create a positive, engaging volunteer experience that keeps people involved for the long term.
YOUR CRICKETID IS CHANGING FOR THE BETTER
Community umpires were invited to each of the men's and women's Test matches to participate in on-field walk during one of the session breaks.
We’ve made some improvements to the way you interact with cricket off the field. The login details you currently use on our cricket apps and websites was called CricketID. This will now be called CricketPlus and will be your one pass to everything cricket.
Your login details will remain unchanged and can continue to be used with the PlayCricket app, the learning management system, PlayHQ and Officials HQ.Â
