MELBOURNE, Apr 1: Cricket Australia and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 local organising committee on Friday welcomed USD 4.4 million funding commitment to multicultural programs from the Australian Government, as outlined in its budget papers.
"The investment over two years will help deliver multicultural participation programs that support the legacy objectives of the T20 World Cup and enrich Australian cricket's vision of being a sport for all," Cricket Australia said in a statement.
"The programs created will support the participation of multicultural Australians at all levels of cricket, generate significant positive health and social outcomes for multicultural communities and empower members of those communities through cricket leadership roles."
Cricket Australia will work closely with priority partnerships, including the Usman Khawaja Foundation, to ensure the successful delivery of these legacy programs. |
