Ni-Vanuatu cricketer Jonathon Dunn optimistic about developing the sport in Pacific

The 27-year-old vice-captain of Vanuatu’s cricket team, Jonathon Dunn, lives in Newcastle, New South Wales, for much of the year.

He and the Ni-Vanuatu cricket team have just returned from an ICC tournament in the northern hemisphere.

“Vanuatu for me and my family is certainly home,” Mr Dunn said.

“[I was] born there, spoke the Vanuatu language before English.

“[I started off cricket] in Vanuatu like anyone does I suppose: in the backyard and then through Kanga cricket-equivalent programs with the plastic bat and ball.”
