Western Australian Cricket Association Chief Executive Mrs Kath White has revealed a national vehicle sponsorship in conjunction with the Australian Cricket Board is imminent.

As a result the WACA regretfully announces the end of a long association with leading motor vehicle dealership, The DiVirgilio Group.

DiVirgilio has provided WA cricket and the association with vehicles and sponsored junior development through metropolitan school holiday coaching clinics.

In confirming the end of a healthy business association, Mrs White praised DiVirgilio's contribution to WA cricket.

"The DiVirgilio Group has given outstanding support to the development of cricket in our state," said Mrs White.

"We have had four healthy years in association, but an alternative arrangement on a national basis is very attractive for the WACA."
