Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay's cricket scene is getting a shake-up with the launch of Coastal Marlins on Sunday 14 February, which will join the Brisbane Premier League's (BPL) inaugural T20 cricket tournament in South East Queensland.

Nick Fitzpatrick and Joel Hamilton from the Australian Cricket Institute (ACI), high-profile compensation lawyer Travis Schultz, local business owner Dylan Pinkstone, and surveyor Jared Pinkstone are the brains behind the new team, which aims to create strong pathways for aspiring cricketers.
