Thunder Nation Cup commences in Canberra on Sunday
Canberra has hosted numerous foreign dignitaries over the years, but this weekend – through the HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup – the nation’s capital will hold court to 160 cricketers whose origins stretch to distant lands.
The fourth edition of the ACT’s HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup, which was initiated by Sydney Thunder to bring individuals and communities together through cricket, will showcase skills that were forged in Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, New Zealand and countries in between.

Sydney Thunder’s Acting General Manager Chris Botherway said the HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup that’s staged annually in Canberra, the Riverina and Sydney, was a special part of the fabric in the Big Bash League club’s identity.
“The HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup gives players from a diverse range of backgrounds the chance to experience the fun and excitement of the Big Bash while proudly representing their community,” said Botherway.
“We’re fortunate to have partners such as HomeWorld who continue to support our efforts to make a real and meaningful difference to our communities.”
Trudi Busch, Director of Marketing, Sponsorship & Community, HomeWorld Group of companies, said it was rewarding to be involved in a tournament that embraces Australia’s multicultural communities by celebrating universal passions of cricket, community, and cuisine.
“Through initiatives such as the HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup, we’re able to help bring communities together and to celebrate culture through cricket,” said Busch. “It allows the values that bind us to Sydney Thunder to go beyond the cricket field and into everyday life.”
HomeWorld Thunder Nation Cup events in Sydney have been postponed until 2021 in accordance with public health advice and government protocols to protect everyone involved.
