At the heart of the partnership is the flagship UC T-10 Cricket Challenge, a four-day carnival backed by year-round training camps and coaching sessions.

Now in its second edition, the international school tournament has quickly gained momentum, giving emerging players a chance to experience global competition while exploring study pathways at the University of Canberra.
