\u00a0“We love playing in Geelong – our efforts to establish a second home at Kardinia Park, showcase Big Bash cricket and build stronger connection with the grassroots cricket within the area is central to the Renegades\u2019 mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We pushed hard to host our first home game of the new season in Geelong and play in front of our passionate fan base,\u201d Rosengarten said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur fans in Geelong missed out last year and we want to make it a great show of cricket and entertainment on December 19.<\/p>\n
