After a meeting with Cricket Victoria on Thursday afternoon, the annual event has been confirmed to go ahead as planned on February 23 at Princess Park.
Twelve teams will compete in a round-robin format, with modified rules and equipment, to suit the all abilities participants.
Shepparton United vice-president Tony Giblin said the idea for the event, now in its sixth year, was thought up over a post-match beer.
“I was chatting with Carolyn Frost, the Connect GV CEO, who is the wife of one our players and mum of one of our juniors, and we got talking about the Big Bash and one thing led to another and we decided we should have an all abilities game to see if Connect GV clients were interested,” he said.
“We trialled it and since then it's got bigger and bigger and bigger."
Keeping an eye on the players will be former Australian Test cricketers Ray Bright and Sarah Elliott.
Elliott will also be holding a clinic for female players on Monday at Princess Park, starting at 4.15pm and another at 5.30pm.
Shepparton's multicultural community will also be in for a treat next week, when former Sri Lankan international Tillakaratne Dilshan makes an appearance at a clinic on February 26 at Princess Park.
The clinic will be held from 4.30pm to 7pm for new migrant and refugee children, aged between nine and 12, who want to learn the game.
