The Wildcats are not along in having a Pride round, the Big Bash League’s annual Pride round has become a big event in recent year’s and introduced a lot of new fans to cricket.

In a video posted by the club the players from both sports talked about why they value the Pride round and why being an ally to people in the LGBTIQA+ communities is important.

The Pride Round was introduced in 2023 with the NBL saying the Pride Round was an opportunity to promote, celebrate and give thanks to the LGBTQ community, while showcasing basketball as a sport striving to provide a safe, healthy and accessible environment for all. 

The introduction of the Pride round followed a Pride in Sport studied that showed that 80 per cent of participants in Australian sport had experienced homophobia.
