Rosengren has taken over from Grant Geaghan as the operations manager, a role that continues to be revolutionised as cricket administration digitalises.

The days of physical scorebooks being compiled are almost coming to an end and Rosengren is looking forward to the challenge.

“It’s the been very interesting, cricket starts this week so there is a lot of running around and trying to learn everything,” Rosengren said.

Rosengren’s husband Simon and sons Harry, 14, and Cooper, 13, are heavily involved in cricket and Mel thought it was an easy progression to make.

She believes Wagga cricket is well-placed, especially with plenty of talented youngsters coming through the ranks.

Junior cricket continues to flourish in the city and one of the biggest challenges is finding enough grounds to fulfill their needs.

With teams expanding this season, there is 14 under 12 teams alone, finding places to them to play is a difficult task with grounds at Glenfield and Ashmont suffering damage from vandals.

After seven years in the role, Geaghan thought the time was right for someone new to take control.

“I decided the time has come, it’s getting too hard to do at my age,” Geaghan said.

“I’ve been to the races three times already this spring, am going back for the Melbourne Cup is one and wanted to enjoy my life a little bit as well.”

Despite stepping down the 65-year-old still won’t be far away from Wagga cricket.
