Wikipedia - Otago cricket team
The Otago cricket team, nicknamed the Volts since the 1997–98 season, are a New Zealand first-class cricket team which first played representative cricket in 1864. The team represents the Otago, Southland and North Otago regions of New Zealand's South Island. Their main governing board is the Otago Cricket Association which is one of six major associations that make up New Zealand Cricket.
Cricket was first played in Otago in 1849, the year after the province was settled by Europeans, and the Otago Cricket Association was founded in 1876. The Otago representative team played in the first match which is considered to have first-class status to have been played in New Zealand, a January 1864 fixture with Canterbury which was part of a four team tournament which also included Southland and an English team led by George Parr which was touring Australia.
The modern Otago team plays most of its home games at the University Oval in Dunedin, but occasionally plays games at the Queenstown Events Centre, Queen's Park Ground in Invercargill and Molyneux Park in Alexandra. The team plays first-class, List A and Twenty20 matches against other New Zealand provincial sides, although in the past has also played against touring sides.
As of 2024 the team's captain is Dean Foxcroft.
The team is known for its competitive spirit and never-say-die attitude on the field. Otago has a reputation for playing an aggressive brand of cricket, with a focus on attacking batting and disciplined bowling. The team has a loyal fan base who support them at home matches and away games.
Otago has a strong squad of players, including experienced veterans and up-and-coming young talent. The team is led by a dedicated coaching staff who work tirelessly to ensure that the players are prepared and ready to compete at the highest level.
Overall, Otago is a respected and formidable cricket team in New Zealand, with a proud history and a bright future ahead.
