There are both men’s and women’s cricket programs at the NSWIS.
The NSWIS Women’s Cricket Program aims to develop the skill level of scholarship athletes enhancing opportunities for selection into the NSW ‘A’ team, the NSW Breakers team as well as national teams/squads. It is designed to increase the level of success of those athletes at open or under age national and international competition and events.
The NSWIS Women's Cricket Program targets under-19 athletes from metropolitan and regional areas who have been identified as under-19 NSW squad members by Cricket NSW are the target athlete group for this program.
NSWIS provides preseason support to the SpeedBlitz Blues squad. A maximum of 35 SpeedBlitz Blues squad athletes, as selected by Cricket NSW, are supported by NSWIS as Associate Scholarship holders.
The NSWIS/Cricket NSW under-19 team is aiming for their 12th consecutive National title win during the 2008/09 season.
In 2007, two under-19 NSWIS athletes were selected to play in the Southern Stars (U23 National team). In 2007, at only 16 years of age, Ellyse Perry, former NSWIS Cricket scholarship holder and current NSWIS Soccer scholarship holder, made her senior international debut for both the Australia national women's cricket team and the Australia national women's soccer team.
