The Perth Bears have offered $100,000 to Cricket NSW for a trial match at North Sydney Oval, aiming to address concerns over venue logistics. Cricket NSW is seeking $200,000 to prepare the ground, partly due to the removal and reinstallation of the cricket pitch. The Bears propose to cover the pitch removal costs of approximately $90,000 and also assist with relocating cricket fixtures for the season. North Sydney Bears chairman Daniel Dickson emphasized that the match would be a historic moment for the club and hopes for a resolution with Cricket NSW before the game scheduled for February.
