Purpose

Intent

State Challenges provide players and coaches with the opportunity to showcase their ability, perform under pressure and develop new skills both on and off the field. Selected players may be identified for inclusion in Queensland Cricket’s Youth Winter Training Programs, forming the first phase of the State Youth program.

Queensland Cricket's indigenous artwork was collaboratively designed by Queensland Fire player and proud Kunja woman Mikayla Hinkley and Brisbane Indigenous artist, Delores McDonald (“Aunty Delly”).

The centre circle represents the Gabba, alongside other water holes which used to be near the ground. 87 black strokes on red earth represent the wickets taken by Aboriginal great, Eddie Gilbert who played 23 games for Queensland.
