Anika Learoyd: Reconnecting with her Aboriginal Roots through Cricket

Australian youngster Anika Learoyd, who has Indigenous roots in her family, spoke to Stumped about stepping into the spotlight and getting a better understanding of her heritage through the Championships.

The 17-year old took the Female Under-18 National Championships in Tasmania by storm, finishing as leading run-scorer with 384 runs. One week later, she was part of the New South Wales team who defended their crown at the National Indigenous Cricket Championships.
