The Melbourne Stars are pleased to announce that Intrepid Travel will return for a second season as the club’s Platinum Partner.
One of Australia’s most recognisable travel brands, Intrepid have been taking travellers all around the globe and providing unforgettable experiences since 1989.
Intrepid’s logo will proudly be worn on the back of the BBL|15 and WBBL|11 playing jerseys and across the back of the players training kit.
Melbourne Stars General Manager Max Abbott thanked Intrepid for their continued support.
“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Intrepid, who share our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences and positive impact in the community.
"This will be the biggest cricket season ever and we look forward to working with Intrepid and all of our partners to bring Melbourne together this summer at the MCG and Junction Oval.”
“As a certified B Corp, Intrepid are the benchmark for adventure travel when it comes to corporate social responsibility. Their leadership inspires us as we continue to grow our own sustainability program, Team Green and inclusion initiatives.”
Reflecting on the renewal, Managing Director ANZ Intrepid Travel, Brett Mitchell said “We’re thrilled to be returning as Platinum Partner of the Melbourne Stars for a second season. Cricket has a special place in the hearts of many Australians, and just like travel, it brings people together through shared experiences.”
“At Intrepid, we’re passionate about helping people connect – whether that’s fans uniting at the MCG or travellers discovering new cultures around the world. We look forward to building on last season’s partnership and inspiring Stars fans to explore both at home and abroad.”
The Stars’ opening WBBL fixture will take place on Monday November 10 against Adelaide Strikers, while the BBL team will open their campaign at the MCG on December 18.
