The Yass leg to be held at Victoria Park on January 20, will offer hands-on cricket activities as well as display historical items from the iconic Bradman Museum.
Nationals Member for Burrinjuck, Katrina Hodgkinson, has encouraged the community of Yass to join the summer celebration of cricket in January 2015 as part of the Home Ground Cricket Tour.
Supported by the NSW Government, the Home Ground Cricket Tour will give local clubs across NSW a taste of world cup excitement.
“I am delighted that the Home Ground Cricket Tour will take over Victoria Park to celebrate the sport of cricket and the role it plays in bringing people together across the whole of NSW,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
“I invite the entire community to get along to this wonderful event to enjoy a great family day out with fantastic activities and entertainment.”
Ms Hodgkinson said that Yass is one of 27 locations across NSW to host the Home Ground Cricket Tour.
“This event will give locals an opportunity to view key pieces from the world-famous Bradman Museum and to get involved with the sport by taking part in hands-on activities conducted by Cricket NSW.
"There is no better time to be a cricket fan in NSW...this tour to Regional NSW will encourage people to secure their tickets now for a trip to Australia’s home of cricket, the Sydney Cricket Ground, which will host five games including Australia versus Sri Lanka on Sunday, March 8, followed by a quarter and a semi-final."
