NT Cricket is pleased to announce the appointment of Kaitlyn Frawley and Rhys French to newly created roles.
Kaitlyn joins NT Cricket as First Nations Programs Manager, while Rhys has been appointed First Nations Growth Lead, with both positions focused on driving increased Indigenous cricket participation, engagement and representation across the Territory.
The roles are funded through the Northern Territory Government’s commitment to support Indigenous cricket growth over the course of the next four years.
The investment will also promote positive social outcomes in remote Aboriginal communities and complement broader programs aimed at improving health, wellbeing, and community engagement.
