The Moonee Ponds Cricket Club is thrilled to share with our great community that one of our rising stars, Avaniish Kotian, recently represented Victoria at the Australia Under 14s Indoor Championships in Perth.
Avaniish had a fantastic tournament, scoring 153 runs and taking 11 wickets — an outstanding all-round performance that led to his selection in the Australian All Stars side!
We’re incredibly proud of Avaniish and can’t wait to see him continue to develop and progress through the ranks at MPCC this season.
Congratulations, Avaniish — the whole club is behind you!

The Moonee Ponds Cricket Club is proud to announce Sam Brincat as our First XI Captain for the 2025/26 season!
A premiership player, bowling champion, and reigning Champion Player, Sam has consistently led by example on and off the field. His recent discussions with Coach Dean Alexander have shown a clear vision and passion for developing our young group and building a strong, united team, much like his predecessor, Patrick Didham.
President Leo Cullia said:
“We’re thrilled to have someone like Sam leading us – club-first, loyal, and a great human being.”
Let’s all get behind Sam as we build toward an exciting season ahead 💙🏏

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open on PlayHQ. As with last season, each player/member must register themselves with the Moonee Ponds Cricket Club to be eligible for selection.

We have implemented various payment options, including a $50 “pay now and balance later” option, among others.

We look forward to your participation in the upcoming season! 

We are thrilled to announce that Dean Alexander has accepted the position of club coach for the 2024-25 season. Dean is a dedicated stalwart of the Moonee Ponds Cricket Club who has consistently given his time to nurture the new batch of players coming through. His effort last year as coach was remarkable, as he was able to turn around the club’s fortunes with his dedication and attention to detail in getting to know each of the players. He is a polished mentor and motivator, with cricket acumen that is second to none. We are very thankful that Dean has committed to the club. We look forward to “Podge” working with all the players to make them better again this season.

We are thrilled to announce that Patrick Didham has accepted the position of 1st XI Captain for the upcoming 2024-25 season! 🏏
Over the past two seasons, Patrick’s leadership has been nothing short of exceptional, skillfully navigating every challenge that has come his way. He has led from the front, producing outstanding numbers with the bat and setting high standards both on and off the field.
Please join us in congratulating Patrick on this well-deserved appointment and let’s get behind him for a fantastic season ahead! 👏
