About Hiri Hiri

In a team full of passionate performers and high-energy players, Hiri Hiri brings something different—stability, patience, and unshakeable focus. A right-handed batsman with a calm head and a workmanlike attitude, Hiri is the sort of cricketer every team needs: dependable under pressure, disciplined in his approach, and quietly effective across formats. Born in Port Moresby, Hiri’s love for cricket blossomed in the bustling urban cricket scene of the capital. He wasn't the loudest player in the nets or the flashiest on the field, but coaches quickly realized he had something special—an ability to read the game, absorb pressure, and hold his nerve when others faltered. His steady climb through the domestic structure reflected his character—measured, consistent, and always focused on improvement. As a batsman, Hiri Hiri fits best in the middle order. He doesn’t go for extravagant shots or take unnecessary risks. Instead, he builds innings with singles, rotates strike, and plays the anchor role when PNG needs someone to bat deep. His value often comes in the quiet moments—the recovery after early wickets, the partnership that steadies the innings, or the late push that takes the team past par. Though not known as a big hitter, Hiri has developed the ability to accelerate late in an innings. His shot selection is sensible, and he’s capable of playing the long game when required. In pressure games, especially against higher-ranked teams, Hiri has often stepped up, soaking up deliveries and taking responsibility for the scoreboard. While batting remains his main strength, Hiri can also bowl handy off-spin. He’s used more as a part-time option, someone to give the main bowlers a breather or exploit spin-friendly conditions. His bowling is tidy, and his economy rate is usually respectable. Fielding is another area where Hiri shines. He’s sharp in the circle, safe under the high ball, and reads the game well—traits that make him a reliable team player in all departments. Off the field, Hiri Hiri is humble, soft-spoken, and deeply committed to his community. He spends time mentoring young players and regularly participates in outreach programs that promote cricket in schools and villages. Hiri Hiri may not grab headlines, but within the PNG team, he’s a quiet backbone—a cricketer who brings balance, resilience, and selfless commitment to every game he plays.
