It is our pleasure to introduce our new Club Captain for the 2022/23 Season – Rex Greaves.
On the Field
Rex is a promising fast bowler who has taken more than 80 wickets in his three seasons with the SUCC. He joined the club in the 2019/20 Season, where he was a valued member of our Fourth Grade and PGs sides. Rex had a great first year. He won the Fourth Grade Minor/Major Premiership and during the season, he picked up his Club Best bowling figures of 6/45 off 17 overs. By the end of the 2020/21 Season, he had moved up through the grades and was an integral part of our Second Grade side, thanks to his consistent form with the ball. Unfortunately, last season Rex had to endure an injury prone season and was unable to play at least 50% of the matches. However, in the 9 matches he did play, he claimed 18 crucial wickets.
Rex is excited and ready to go for the 2022/23 Season, with his sights set on earning his First Grade Cap.
Off the Field
Rex is studying a Bachelor of Arts and Advanced Studies where he Majors in International Studies and Political Economics. He is a driven student who is nearing the end of his studies, expecting to Graduate in December this year. He is currently seeking internships and work opportunities in his study area, actively trying to get experience in his industry.
Rex has been a part of the Elite Athlete Program since the 2020/21 Season and is very grateful he was selected in this squad. He has mentioned being part of the program has helped him get the most out of both the SUCC and University experience.
Part of his role as Club Captain involves holding an important position on the Sydney University Cricket Club Board, where he is the conduit between the playing members and club management. Working closely with the General Manager, Rex will have an active role in event planning throughout the season.
Congratulations Rex!
Good luck for the season ahead.
