Australia retained the cup in a draw of 13 teams throughout the Commonwealth held from 29 December 2019 to 9 January 2020. Countries included Australia, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, English barristers, New Zealand and the West Indies.

Ashley Tiplady, partner at Mills Oakley has represented Australia since 2011. 

“I often describe myself as a cricketer trapped in a lawyer’s debt cycle!” said Mr Tiplady. “I’ve played first-grade cricket in Brisbane, so to combine that passion with the ability to travel the world with mates and play on test grounds is a ‘no brainer.’”

The Lawyer’s Cricket World Cup was instituted by legal practitioners to promote the rule of law throughout the Commonwealth by using cricket as an opportunity to meet regularly at different locations and to interact with legal practitioner friends from elsewhere at the biennial competition.

Starting in Hyderabad in 2009, the LCWC was then hosted across the globe in London, Barbados, Delhi, Brisbane and Colombo.
