Australian Test Bowler Jason Gillespie will announce future plans for his cricket career and launch a new career in fashion at the Sommers Festival of Cricket in Bowral this weekend.
Despite heavy game commitments with his home club Adelaide, Gillespie has made time to take part in the world's first Festival of Cricket at Bradman Museum.
He will join cricket luminaries including Bill Brown OAM (one of Bradman's 1948 Invincibles), Max Walker, Dean Jones, Kerry O'Keefe and Mark Waugh at the festival.
Statisticians, umpires and scorers, cricket writers, artists and cartoonists, commentators and bat and ball makers will also take part in the celebration of all things related to cricket.
"It's important to acknowledge the efforts of all those in the background who support our great game," said Gillespie.
"They range from the professionals who prepare the wicket and organise first-class games to the army of mums and dads who give so much of their time to junior cricket."
