The roadshow of memorabilia and activities will visit 27 towns across NSW, starting in Dubbo on 2 December.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Troy Grant said the Home Ground Cricket Tour will promote cricket across the State.
“The NSW Government is pleased to support the event and give regional communities across NSW the chance to get involved in the lead up to the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2015,” Mr Grant said.
“There is no better time to be a cricket fan in NSW, and I hope people across the State get along to their local sporting ground when the Home Ground Cricket Tour comes to town.”
Minister for Regional Tourism John Barilaro said the tour will have something to offer cricket fans of all ages.
“This tour will give people in regional areas an opportunity to view key pieces from the world-famous Bradman Museum and get involved with the sport by taking part in hands-on activities conducted by Cricket NSW,” Mr Barilaro said.
The Sydney Cricket Ground will host five Cricket World Cup games including Australia versus Sri Lanka on Sunday 8 March, followed by a quarter and a semi-final.
