CHILDREN'S CRICKET CHARITY AMBASSADOR

"I'm proud to be an ambassador for the Children's Cricket Charity. Cricket is so much more than just a sport for the people of the Caribbean. For many years the game of cricket has been at the foundation of life. Please join us in our mission to use the great game of cricket, and all the joys the game can bring, as a means of advocating kindness and generosity for this generation of cricket-loving children."

JASON KREJZA

RETIRED AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER

HEAD COACH & DIRECTOR - ELITE CRICKET

CHILDREN'S CRICKET CHARITY AMBASSADOR

“I’m very honoured and excited to be an ambassador for the Children’s Cricket Charity. Having spent time in countries during my cricket career where so many kids come from disadvantaged backgrounds, I’ve seen how much a difference it can make to peoples’ lives when we give generously to others less fortunate."

MELANIE JONES

RETIRED AUSTRALIAN CRICKETER

INTERNATIONAL SPORTS BROADCASTER

CHILDREN'S CRICKET CHARITY AMBASSADOR

"The chance to help the wonderful team at CCC give opportunities for young girls and boys to get active & play a game so intrinsically connected to Caribbean & Aussie life is very exciting!

In 2000, fellow Australian player, Julia Price & I set up our own cricket gear collection for young kids in Kenya & Zimbabwe. What we found then, are the same reasons I am teaming up with Children's Cricket Charity now. That kids love cricket, that good quality equipment is hard to get due to circumstance out of their control and taking away a barrier to participation can make such a big difference in young people's lives."

the best we can, and also carrying the hopes and dreams and aspirations of everyone in the Caribbean, as a third world country competing against first world countries.To have been number one in the world in cricket, without the amenities of the first world, is a great achievement for us as a people and something we will always cherish."
