Former Australian fast bowler Michael Kasprowicz was presented with his Life Membership by QC Chair Chris Simpson at the AGM.
Kasprowicz, 50, made his debut for Queensland while still at high school, and finished as the State’s all-time leading wicket-taker in first class cricket, with 505 dismissals across 115 games in 19 seasons for Queensland.
He played 38 Tests for Australia, claiming 113 wickets, as well as turning out in 43 One Day Internationals and two T20 Internationals.
His post-playing days have been distinguished by a nine-year stint as a director of Cricket Australia between 2011 and 2020 as well as a period as acting CEO of Queensland Cricket.
Kasprowicz is also a former President of the Australian Cricketers’ Association and a founding Director of the Bulls Masters.
Equally, his influence on the grassroots of the game remains on-going.
In 2003, Kasprowicz agreed to be the face of Queensland Cricket’s inaugural Volunteer Recognition Program.
‘Kaspa’s Crew’ was the first program of its type to be introduced in Australian Cricket and continues to this day, acknowledging and rewarding volunteers throughout the State.
