Cricket PNG keen to revitalise the game in Lae and create new pathways for players in the Highlands provinces
The village of Hanuabada on the fringes of Port Moresby is regarded as the hub of Papua New Guinea's cricketing world.
Over many years it has produced a long line of national team players - men and women.
But it hasn't always been that way - turn the clock back a few decades and PNG's second city Lae was at the top of the tree.
And now with men's cricket in particular heading towards a tough period of transition, Cricket PNG is keen revitalise the game in Lae, and grow the sport in the Highland Provinces, as they seek out the best new talent.
Right now there is only one turf wicket in PNG and that's at Amini Park in Port Moresby, but Henao Samual, who took on the role of development manager just three months ago, has ambitions to see a turf pitch put down in Lae within five years.

Milestone man Mat Ryan ‘proud' to have won back his cherished Socceroos spot
Socceroos skipper Mat Ryan feared that his career with the national team was over after being dropped following last September's appointment of Tony Popovic as Australia's coach. Having amassed 95 caps in a stellar Socceroos journey that started in 2012, Ryan suddenly found himself watching from the bench in Popovic's first three games in charge, with the younger Joe Gauci preferred and seemingly set to dethrone the stalwart custodian permanently. However, after keeping a clean sheet in Australia's 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia in Melbourne in November, Gauci was perhaps surprisingly dropped, with Ryan reinstated for the Socceroos' clash with Bahrain less than a week later in Riffa. And now having been between the posts for Australia's past four games, 33-year-old Ryan is set to become the third Socceroo to reach 100 caps when he lines up on Wednesday morning (AEST) against the Saudis in Jeddah, where his team is almost certain to secure 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. 'There were definitely thoughts that I had then that I could well have played my last game for the national team,' Ryan said in reflecting on being dropped. 'At the same time … anyone who obtains success in their life, it's a fundamental to be able to stay strong and continue to believe in yourself and back yourself. 'The majority of my process at that stage was that, but there are obviously also certain uncontrollables. I'm not a manager (head coach), and I don't make the selections. 'I do everything I can to influence the manager, to convince him that I'm the best man for the job, but sometimes that's not always good enough, and I've experienced that in my (club) career as well. 'There was a thought here and there that (I might) have (played) my last game, so I'm pretty proud of the fact that I've managed to fight my way back in, but at the same time, I believe as a footballer, no-one is ever entitled to be playing for a team.' Ryan, who is off contract at his French club Lens, was never going 'throw in the towel' after being dropped. 'You've got to go out there and earn that right every single day on the training pitch, and off the training pitch as well, making sure you're doing the right things, and when you get the opportunity to pull on that jersey and get on that pitch, it's the player's responsibility to make the most of that opportunity and not give the manager a reason to not select them moving forward,' he said. 'I never felt like I was entitled to be playing at any moment. so with that approach, it helped me just get my head down and work harder than ever before and try to do everything I could to get back in. 'There could have been quite a few players that maybe would have perhaps spat the dummy, or threw in the towel, and not come back from it, but my love for football and our nation, and being out there and contributing to the team, just fuelled my hunger and motivated me more to do what I could and tap into my skill sets to try to get back out there on the pitch.' Despite being on the verge of playing a fourth World Cup, Ryan is taking nothing for granted when it comes to selection or even Australia qualifying. That's despite the Saudis needing to score at least five goals on Wednesday morning to have any hope of reaching next year's World Cup ahead of the Socceroos. 'By no means is the job finished,' he said. 'It's important that we just stay focused and stay present in what we're doing at the minute. 'When you've got that success at your fingertips, you want to take that final last step to achieve it. 'It's my 100th cap, but … I'm not treating this game any different to how I treated my first one or my fifth one, or my 10th or 50th. 'That's what the jersey deserves. Any time that an individual gets the opportunity to pull that jersey on and represent our great country, it just demands the utmost dedication and sacrifice. 'I'm just approaching it as any other game and just trying to create another lifelong memory through having a good win against a good opposition in Saudi Arabia away from home.'

Pat Cummins drops telling hint about Marnus Labuschagne and Sam Konstas as major WTC call looms
Pat Cummins has hinted that Marnus Labuschagne is most likely to get the nod to open the batting for Australia in the World Test Cricket Championship (WTC) final, with young gun Sam Konstas set to be snubbed. The one-off Test against South Africa gets underway on Wednesday (AEDT) and the burning question on every cricket fan's lips is who opens the batting for Australia with Usman Khawaja? Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. It is understood that it is a two-horse race between Konstas and Labushagne, with the latter appearing most likely to be given the tough job at the top of the order. The 30-year-old has never opened at Test level, although Labushagne was discussed as an option to occupy the vacancy left by David Warner following the veteran's retirement in January 2024. Labuschagne's elevation would squeeze Konstas out of the starting XI and accommodate Cameron Green, who missed the recent home summer due to a back injury, back in the order. It is understood that he is set to be picked at first drop. And while Cummins said a final decision is still yet to be made on who opens with Khawaja, the Aussie skipper hinted that the Queenslander is most likely to get the nod. 'There are three or four guys to fit into one spot and you can mount a case for basically any one of them,' Cummins told Yahoo Sport Australia. 'It's a really good problem to have. The selectors will get together in the next 48 hours and have a good look at the wicket and stay open-minded. 'Marn's batted there pretty much his whole career and there's been many games where he's walked out in the first over against the swinging ball. I know a lot of the batters probably say it makes a difference where they bat in the order, but for me, he's good enough to play anywhere.' If selected, Labuschagne would become the fifth player to open alongside Khawaja since Warner's retirement. Steve Smith, Nathan McSweeney and Konstas have all occupied the role before Travis Head was thrown up the order during this year's Test tour of Sri Lanka. Despite a more than passable job as an opener in that series, Head will return to the middle order. And according to Steve Smith – who had a brief but unsuccessful stint at the top of the order last year – Khawaja told him that Labushcagne looks better than ever in the lead-up to the WTC final. 'Looking at the nets yesterday I think he was batting with Uzzy and Uzzy came up to me afterwards and said, 'I think that's the best I've ever seen Marnus bat,'' Smith said, according to Code Sports. 'And that's a big call. Usman has seen a lot of him batting. Marnus was switched on, Uzzy was adamant, he was like, 'geez that was good. That was impressive.' ' (Marnus) seems in a nice place. I was speaking to him last night afterwards and I said that to him. 'I said, 'Uz said you batted really well and he's like, 'geez, I was on. I was in a really good spot.' 'Obviously we've got plenty of options. Marn obviously adds that experience and he's a terrific fielder and he can give us some overs I suppose at any point too. He's played a lot of cricket now and perhaps he hasn't had the best little period but we all go through that.'
