BRADMAN MASTERS T20 TOURNAMENT

The Bradman Foundation is proud to be hosting its first Masters T20 Tournament. Southern Highlands local David Wells said of the event:

"It is very exciting that the Southern Highlands is going to host the inaugural event for the Over 60s T20 Masters Tournament as it represents a new fixture for this age group in NSW. We're very much looking forward to being one of five teams who get to experience this great initiative, and we're hopeful that it will continue to become an annual keynote event in the Highlands."

Teams from Mid-North Coast, North East Victoria, ACT, Coffs Harbour and the Highlands will participate in a 3 day tournament on the oval and an enjoyable dining experience in the Bradman Museum.

FAIRBREAK SMASH 22 FEBRUARY

The Bradman Centre is hosting a women’s cricket event on Saturday 22 February at Bradman Oval. The feature match commences at 2.15pm when a FairBreak Global XI take on the women’s’ Bradman XI, with Alex Blackwell as the captain and a number of NSW youngsters. The FairBreak Global team will include players from at least nine countries including Vanuatu, USA, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Botswana and Australia. The FairBreak Global game will continue to highlight the crucial issues of gender equality, such as equal pay and governance, and further the FairBreak mission of opportunity and equality for all.

Around the globe, there are women who are talented, passionate and driven in their professional field, but they do not have the opportunity to give their best in a way that is acknowledged or encouraged by their community. FairBreak is an organisation that aims to create opportunities in sport, business, media, arts and education to achieve gender equality on a truly global scale.

In the lead up to the Women’s T20 World Cup 2020, the past month has seen a sensational host of female cricketers visiting the Bradman Centre;

The Official T20 Trophy Tour came to Bradman Museum on January 10. We were honoured to host former Australian Test players Sally Griffith and Belinda Haggart (Robinson).

The kids also had a private viewing of former Australian Test captain Belinda Clark’s Baggy Green.

Former Australian Test captain Jodie Fields visited the museum, paying her respects to The Don and taking a tour of the museum.

We welcomed the India Women’s 2020 T20 World Cup squad! Harmanpreet Kaur (captain) and her sensational team visited the museum in February, as they prepared for the upcoming T20 Women’s World Cup.
