Cricket Australia (CA) on Monday launched a five-year strategic plan that aims to double the number of boys playing the game in age group 5 to 12 to 2,10,000 and quadruple the number of girls in the same age bracket to 60,000 apart from prioritising the need to get the spectators back into the stadiums.
In its bid to bring about transformative changes, the CA also wants to ensure it makes a positive social through the game by providing more opportunities to girls and women and that it is accessible to people from culturally diverse background. Anticipating that cricket will be part of the 2032 Olympics Games in Brisbane after women's cricket's successful inclusion at the Birmingham CWG, Cricket Australia also want to build a culture for the sport in the country.
The CA on Monday unveiled its plan that features 10 priorities across four interrelated pillars.
