Pirates Cricket Club have appointed new captain Nick Liedtke ahead of the 2023-24 Lions Cricket premier league A.
Liedtke, who is Pirates Cricket Club’s reigning Cricketer of the Year, has succeeded former captain Chad Roberts, who has become Pirates Cricket Club director of cricket.
“Nick shows great promise, consistency and experience, given his previous role as vice-captain from the season before,” said new Pirates Cricket Club head coach Aya Myoli.
“In the time that I have known him, Nick has demonstrated his commitment to being a leading member of the Pirates fraternity. He has an excellent attendance record for practice sessions and shows great enthusiasm when he is with the team.”
Pirates Cricket Club have been promoted to the Lions Cricket premier league A after 2022-23’s title-winning premier league B campaign.
“Nick is also deeply passionate about the club and hopes to implement some exciting plans as the year progresses with the challenge of promotion to the premier league A,” added Myoli.
