Meet the founder
Hi Team Nigel Thompson here, Founder/Owner of RYS Cricket Australia.
My cricket journey kicked off at a young age, just like countless other kids in our cricket-loving nation. From sun-up to sun-down, my family, friends, and I were out on the pitch, dreaming of representing Australia one day.
When I wasn't playing, I was soaking up every bit of cricket I could, be it watching games or diving into cricket literature. Some might call it crazy, but I call it sheer passion. And you know what? Nothing's changed; I still live and breathe cricket, always searching for ways to boost our players and gear.
You'll often spot me chatting with players in the shop or working on bat repairs and shaping in the workshop. RYS, short for Raise Your Stik, perfectly embodies every batsman's aspiration, making it the ideal name for our cricket brand.
In 2019, I took a year off work to launch RYS. It was all about building contacts, finding suppliers, mastering the art of bat making, and even embarking on a trip to India for extensive training and studying.
Through relentless hard work and unwavering determination, our brand has blossomed into one of Australia's emerging cricket names, trusted by premier players all across the country.
A massive shoutout to my RYS family and friends for being part of this incredible journey. It's been unforgettable, and I'm forever grateful for the chance to bring the joy of cricket to so many players with gear crafted with passion and love for the game. Here's to raising our stiks and celebrating cricket together!
