Welcome to the 2019/20 Summer of Cricket
——— WELCOME
Cricket Australia Official Hospitality | The Ultimate Cricket Experience
Our vision is to develop great cricketers and great people. This won’t happen over the course of one summer but we are making progress. We want to make Australian’s proud of their cricket team again, and through their actions on and off the cricket field, we certainly feel the nation is starting to get behind us.
We’re really pleased with how the group is preparing for two of the biggest challenges in international cricket, the World Cup and Ashes. While this is our immediate focus, we’re also looking forward to returning home for another huge summer against New Zealand and Pakistan. We love playing in front of big home crowds at some of the best venues in the world.
Meeting and listening to the players in Cricket Australia’s Official Hospitality must be a fantastic experience and I’m sure you get some nice insights into the team and the individuals. Talking to friends and fans who attend the events, they often tell me two things. First it’s always about how good it is to hear their thoughts and understandings on the match, followed by how amazing it was to speak to a Pat Cummins or Nathan Lyon and find out how down to earth and accessible these players are.
It’s also important for us to thank you for the impact you are having on helping the next generation of cricket players achieve their dreams of becoming the next Tim Paine or Meg Lanning. Kevin Roberts speaks about uniting and inspiring communities through cricket, and through your attendance at CA Official Hospitality events you are making a significant contribution to Australian cricket and inevitably our investment back into grassroots cricket.
From the grassroots through to the Australian men’s team, we understand the importance of strong partnerships. The partnership between our players and our supporters is what makes cricket in Australia so special and so strong, and I know the boys are genuine in their vision to make Australian’s proud of their cricket team.
Thank you again for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you again this summer.
Justin LangerAustralian Men’s Head Coach
As we ramp up our preparations for an unprecedented summer in the UK, which includes the Cricket World Cup and the Ashes, I want to thank you for your continued support of Australian cricket.

MANUKA OVAL
Manuka Oval
Manuka Oval’s rich and diverse history has proved integral in its continuous use as a sporting venue. With a seating capacity of 13,550, the venue remains the premier site for cricket and AFL events in Canberra.
The Manuka Oval precinct retains much of its original tree plantings from the 1920s, with now-large mature specimens of cypress, poplar, oak and elm trees defining the circular space of the sports ground. The enclosure excludes the hustle and bustle of the surrounding suburbs, and helps visitors to absorb the venue and its associated events.
From the oval, the tower of St Christopher’s Cathedral and Red Hill are the only visible features outside the ground. On site, the original curator’s cottage and the Lord’s Taverners garden add a certain charm to the environment.
Manuka Oval hosts many local and national AFL matches, as well as local and international cricket including the iconic PM’s XI game. Manuka Oval is just 10 minutes from Parliament House and the airport.
