Smash Series Cricket Club FAQ

  • After a thorough review of the Junior Cricket landscape, including participation data analysis, participant interviews and extensive workshops, Australian Cricket have implemented a number of enhancements to Junior Cricket. A key inclusion is a 60-minute, flexible format for participants who want to play the game.

    Throughout the 2024/25 season all states & territories piloted Smash Series Cricket with outstanding results and have all included it into the new Junior Cricket Experience. 

  • Smash Series can be delivered by a state or territory body or by a local club or association. Please contact your local state or territory team member for further information. 

  • If you’re interested in running a Smash Series Cricket program or competition, please get in contact with your local state or territory team member.  

  • Smash Series Cricket was created to capture a greater share of the sports participation market in Australia. Its primary goal is to complement and grow junior cricket participation.

    The program is designed to run after junior registrations and the season have commenced, providing an additional pathway for players who prefer a more social, participation-focused format. This approach helps both recruit new participants and retain those seeking a flexible, engaging cricket experience.
