PNG Barras

This training camp includes the wider Barramundis training squad. 

Head Coach Carl Sandri arrived a few days ahead of the squad and was impressed by the facilities at the Gold Coast Performance Centre in Runaway Bay. 

“You can see why teams, including the Hunters Rugby League team and Fiji Drua Super Rugby team, are here,” he stated.

“The facilities cater for all of the needs of a professional high performance team, and with the squad staying on site, we are in a safe bubble that allows us to completely focus on cricket.

As part of the international travel requirements the team is currently in a bubble since Tuesday this week before the travel on Sunday.

Cricket PNG General Manager Tony Nadu said the boys have waited long enough for this since they qualified in 2019 and now is the opportunity to play on the world stage playing the best in T20 World Cup.

Nadu said the Barras have been fortunate enough to have lined up a number of warm up matches before the world cup which starts on October 17 to November 14.
