Background

Table Cricket provides children and adults with special needs the opportunity to participate in a team environment in a genuine competition. The Australian Sports Commission and ACT Cricket have been working towards establishing this event, with the hope it provides a standard across Australia for Cricket and Special Needs groups.

Table Cricket has been incorporated as part of ACT Cricket's Kookaburra Cup in an effort to involve the tournament within a traditional cricket framework.

This provides an opportunity in itself to create greater awareness for Table Cricket in the cricket community.

The Lord's Taverners are a charity group and is a wonderful sponsor of this new and exciting program for people with a disability. Table cricket was officially launched in 2006 by Prime Minister John Howard at the Prime Ministers XI match against England.
