Australia’s best male junior cricketers will call Ballarat home for a week in January 2024.
The City of Ballarat has secured the rights to host the Cricket Australia National Under 17 Male Championships – a week-long carnival of cricket featuring 30 matches between states and territories from around Australia.
The event is expected to attract about 450 people for the week and contribute more than $550,000 to the local economy.
It will be held from 4-11 January, with all of the 50-over matches to be held on City of Ballarat facilities.
The new addition to the sports events calendar follows the recent announcement of Ballarat hosting the Bowls Victoria 2024 Regions Sides Championships on 13 and 14 January.
