Pacific cricketers tipped for Big Bash future

Pacific cricketers tipped for Big Bash future

Papua New Guinea internationals Norman Vanua and Charles Amini Junior recently spent a week in camp with the Adelaide Strikers, who opened the defence of their Big Bash T20 title with a five wicket victory over the Brisbane Heat.

The duo played in two practice matches last weekend, with Amini impressing with the ball and making 28 with the bat in the Saturday match.

Adelaide assistant coach Joe Dawes is also head coach of the PNG Barramundis and believes some of his players would not look out of place in the Big Bash proper.
