CSNI and Northern Knights all-rounder Adam Leckey is enjoying his time in Sydney as part of the Cricket Ireland Exchange Programme with Randwick Petersham.

The Ireland Under-19 international is following in the footsteps of established internationals such as Harry Tector, Barry McCarthy and Andrew Balbirnie who have been among the particpants since 2015.

Adam has been playing for the Coogee-based Randy Petes second XI, scoring 96 runs in his seven matches to date with his best being a 16-ball 31 in a recent T20.

His safe hands have seen him take five catches, but he has struggled with the ball on the Australian pitches, taking only two wickets to date - that coming last week against Mosman in the Albert Cup where he claimed 2-14.

The teenager will be part of the Ireland U19 World Cup squad that will be in Zimbabwe and Namibia early next year.
