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.

Socceroos coach Tony Popovic set to inspire Aussies ahead of FIFA World Cup
Socceroos captain Mat Ryan says the 'passion' of Australia's coach Tony Popovic will continue to inspire the national team ahead of next year's FIFA World Cup. The Socceroos only need to avoid a five-goal defeat in Wednesday morning's clash against Saudi Arabia in Jeddah to guarantee themselves qualification for a sixth successive World Cup. Popovic's appointment last September came at a difficult time for the Socceroos, who had made a poor start to the third round of AFC World Cup qualifiers with a 1-0 loss to Bahrain and a 0-0 draw with Indonesia. It led to the departure of long-time coach Graham Arnold, with Popovic given the task of getting the Socceroos' qualifying campaign back on track. The new coach, who played for the Socceroos at the 2006 World Cup, made an immediate impression on experienced goalkeeper Ryan, who was set to make his 100th appearance for the national team on Wednesday. 'I remember when they appointed him and watching his first press conference and interviews,' Ryan said. 'There was a few questions thrown at him about it being not the greatest time to be taking over as Socceroos head coach because of the circumstances we were in. 'We didn't start off the group in the best possible way and were perhaps behind the eight-ball. 'From memory of him answering the question, he said … 'Every moment to take over the national team, especially the Australian national team, is a great moment. I'm not buying into any of that. It's an honour. It's a privilege to be here, and I can't wait to get to work'. 'From that moment, I (thought) 'he's someone that's super passionate about not only football but Australian football', and it's just been on repeat since he's been in here. 'He demands the absolute maximum from each and every one of us, and that's exactly how it should be.' Ryan said Arnold and Ange Postecoglou had shown similar passion when they coached the Socceroos, as opposed to the tenures of the other two full-time coaches who had guided him at national team level – German mentor Holger Osieck and Dutchman Bert van Marwijk. 'With every manager we've had here in the national team, it's fair to say the Australian managers more than the foreign managers (have) got that extra special relationship with the jersey,' he said. 'Ange (and) 'Arnie' were also obviously very passionate about the national team, and that was portrayed through their actions and their words and speeches.'

Matthew Hayden has been inducted in to the ICC Hall of Fame
As Australian selectors mull another opening combination on the eve of the World Test Championship final, one of the best to do it, Matthew Hayden was among seven cricket greats inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Hayden opened ed for Australia for 16 years across Test and ODI cricket, once holding the record for the highest Test score after blasting 380 against Zimbabwe in Perth. He finished his epic career with 30 Test hundred, and his three centuries during the 2007 ODI World Cup also propelled Australia to victory. Hayden formed a formidable partnership with Justin Langer during a period of Australian Test domination, in stark contrast to recent times when the opening position in the Test team has been a 'revolving door' according to current opener Usman Khawaja. He said he remained in the dark about who would open with him at Lord's against South Africa in the WTC final which starts on Thursday, having been through four partner since David Warner's retirement. 'I've had a few partners since Davey's gone. It's just a tough place to bat,' he said. 'You can't hide in Test cricket. I think whoever's going to come in will do a good job. But for me, it's no different.' Hayden made the spot his own in 273 matches for Australia across Tests, ODIs and T20s. The powerful Queenslander blasted nearly 15,000 runs across the three formats, with 40 international hundreds and he finished his career with a Test average of 50.73, putting him in rarefied air. Indian legend MS Dhoni, Daniel Vettori, Hashim Amla, Graeme Smith, Sarah Taylor and Sana Mir were the other inductees,
