Alumni in Focus: Nick Winter
Opening bowler for the Redbacks and Strikers, Nick Winter, is this month’s Alumni in Focus.
A Bachelor of International Studies graduate, Nick moved from Canberra at 19 to pursue his cricketing career. It took five years, but in 2018 he made his first-grade debut for South Australia.
