UnLtd's charity cricket event is returning in February. Team captains have been confirmed - and there are free training sessions in January for the teams going head to head.

The Big Clash pits teams from media and creative agencies against media owners and tech firms - with both men and women's teams going for glory.

To date, the event has raised $380k for children and young people at risk and UnLtd CEO Chris Freel said he is hopeful of "smashing the $500k mark this year!" with double the teams competing.

In Sydney this year, UnLtd has partnered with Cricket NSW to offer free training sessions for all women in the industry to introduce them to cricket and to help prepare for Big Clash.

There are two remaining sessions, taking place in Jubilee Park in Sydney on 3 February and 10 February. All women in the industry are invited to attend the free sessions, booking can be done by contacting bronte@unltd.org.au.

The event will take place on 13 February in Sydney and 27 February in Melbourne and the industry is encouraged to join in on the day for music, food and drink and to help cheer their team to victory.
