First Nations Round

Cricket NSW to observe First Nations Round across all levels of the game in November 

The cricket community across NSW, including Sydney Thunder’s WBBL team, Premier Cricket and community cricket clubs and their players will come together in November to participate in the annual First Nations Round.  

Taking place during the third week and weekend of November 2024, the week will be full of announcements and activities to demonstrate Cricket NSW’s commitment to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. 

Players and umpires from every club and team in the state are invited to form a pre-match barefoot circle and organise a Welcome to Country or Acknowledgement of Country to connect with the Traditional Owners of the land during the weekend of November 24 and 25. In previous years, clubs have posted their activities of the First Nations Rounds on their socials and tagged Cricket NSW, and we encourage them to do the same this year. 

Clubs and associations can undertake a host of activities to support and observe the Round, the resources of which can be found in the First Nations Round Information Pack.
