The campaign will run on TV, outdoor, radio, digital and in store.

Anthony Everard, general manager of events and leagues at Cricket Australia, said in a statement: “I am very excited about the roll out of this youthful and fun campaign to promote the highly anticipated Woolworths Cricket Blast program.

“The campaign helps to show all of the positive aspects of getting involved in our great sport to kids and has also been designed to be as useful as possible to the many people working within grassroots cricket to attract and encourage the next generation of players and fans.”

Quan Payne, ECD at Cornwell, added: “It has been such an honour to partner with Cricket Australia to create a campaign that shares the joy and spirit of the sport with a new generation. We believe the trust that Cricket Australia placed in us to deliver something new and different allowed us to create a campaign that will bring a smile to people’s faces, tap into new demographics and get kids out there playing cricket.”
