The five-day tournament running January 12-16 will be hosted in Western Australia, with matches played across Perth and Mandurah.
Victoria will be represented by four teams at the 2026 tournament on behalf of the Cricket Victoria Foundation:
- Victorian Men's Deaf & Hard of Hearing
- Victorian Women's Deaf & Hard of Hearing
- Victorian Blind and Low Vision
- Victorian Intellectual Disability
Victoria enters the 2026 tournament with a strong history of success, returning as reigning champions in the Men's and Women's Deaf & Hard of Hearing and Intellectual Disability competitions.
The Victorian Intellectual Disability team has claimed the title for five consecutive years, while the Men's Deaf & Hard of Hearing team has won the past three tournaments and the Women's Deaf & Hard of Hearing team the past two.
With exceptional talent across all squads, players to watch include Victorian captains Ned Brewer-Maiga and Tahlia Denham, along with new Victorian Intellectual Disability team member Tyler Vanderwert.
"It's a great honour to represent Victoria and be part of a squad with such sustained success and talented players," Vanderwert said.
"I've been playing cricket since I was five, back in the days of 'Milo Cricket', so reaching the next stage of my playing career is incredibly special and I'm grateful for the opportunity."
"We're really looking forward to travelling to Perth and competing against outstanding players from across the country."
We wish all four Victorian teams safe travels and the very best of luck for the tournament.
