PORTLAND Tigers will bring a largely similar outfit into the 2023-24 Hamilton and District Cricket Association season, with A grade captain Will Oakley saying the club is full of excitement at the prospect of a revamped Portland cricket landscape.

The Tigers will go into this season without their most impactful player of 2022-23, league best and fairest winner Will Hardie, with Oakley saying his side needs to be prepared to find ways to make up the difference elsewhere.
