About Zaine Atwell
Zaine started playing cricket at 8 years old, competing in our local competition. His passion for the game has grown over the years, being selected to play District Cricket for Gosnells, and this year, being selected to represent the WA men's team at the National Indigenous Cricket Championship in Alice Springs, at 14 years old. A great experience, where he learnt a lot. He was also part of a group that ran cricket clinics at the detention centre. Where he inspired detainees to peruse their cricket interests and talents. This season he also played cricket for the community team, at the senior level and was awarded the Most Promising Player award.
Value to the Individual
Cricket is my passion, even through the off season, I try to keep my skills up as often as possible. I enjoy the game, the people I meet, the opportunities I've had, representing WA has been a highlight, playing cricket alongside 1st grade players, these guys I look up too. Their advice, tips and just training with these guys has been invaluable.
