Young cricketer Nygel Shah has been recognised with a State Representative Award after representing New South Wales at the U19 All Schools Interstate Cricket Exchange.
The award was presented by Riverstone MP Warren Kirby, who congratulated Shah on his selection and performance at the interstate competition.
Kirby said the recognition reflected Shah’s dedication to cricket and the work he had put into developing his skills.
“Congratulations to Nygel Shah on receiving the State Representative Award for representing New South Wales at the U19 All Schools Interstate Cricket Exchange,” Kirby said.
The award marks a notable achievement for Shah, while also recognising the support of his family and wider community as he continues to pursue cricket at representative level.
Shah’s participation in the U19 All Schools Interstate Cricket Exchange provided an opportunity to compete against young players from other states and gain experience in a higher-level cricket environment.
Cricket has long been an important part of sporting and community life for many Australian families, including communities with strong links to India. The sport also continues to provide pathways for young players through school, club and representative competitions.
Kirby wished Shah continued success in his cricket and future opportunities at representative level.
For Shah, the State Representative Award adds another milestone to his young cricket career and recognition of the commitment required to compete beyond the local level.
