Western Australian Cricket Association

The Western Australian Cricket Association (known as the WACA) is the governing body for cricket in Western Australia.

History

The WACA was formed on 5 November 1885. In 1893 the association opened the WACA Ground.

First-class cricket

The WACA is responsible for managing Western Australia's first-class cricket team the Western Warriors.

Competitions

The WACA is responsible for administering Western Australian Grade Cricket.

The Association also hosts a popular annual cricket festival at Lilac Hill in Guildford between a Chairman's XI and the visiting International XI team. The first match in 1990 drew a crowd of 12,000 to watch the hosts play the England XI. The last of these was held in 2009 due to the difficulty in scheduling matches of this type in international team tours.

The current President of the WACA is former Australian Test cricketer, Dennis Lillee.

The current Chief Executive Officer is another former Australian Test cricketer Graeme Wood.
