MUCC’s recruitment drive for the 2022 season is right on track with two of the club’s big names both having sons in late May.
Life member Wayne Phillips and his wife Tania resisted the temptation to name their new arrival Wayne Phillips IV -- instead plumping for Jake.
Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland (pictured), who celebrated the birth of Thomas with his wife Heidi, fronted packed press conferences in Melbourne.
Sutherland said “it’s obviously very disappointing" and “it might well be a farce" but was apparently talking about Muttiah Muralitharan and Zimbabwe respectively.
Thomas's older siblings, William and Annabel, are already being lined up for MUCC's men's and women's teams in the late 2010s.
