Belinda Clark becomes first woman cricketer to be honoured with bronze statue at SCG

SYDNEY: Australia's legendary woman cricketer Belinda Clark on Thursday became the first female cricketer to be immortalised with a sculpture in the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) precinct.

Clark's bronze statue has been installed at the entrance to the SCG's Walk of Honour and was revealed for the first time ahead of day two of the third men's Test against South Africa on Thursday.

The sculpture was unveiled by The Hon. Dame Quentin Bryce and the New South Wales Premier the Hon. Dominic Perrottet MP during a ceremony on the morning of Day 2 of the SCG Test.

The sculpture is believed to be the first such honour afforded any women's cricketer in the world. The news that the SCG would house the statue was first announced in early 2021. She joins an elite list of 73 male cricketers who have statutes in the precinct.
