Profile

Tony Ura is a right-hand batsman and wicketkeeper who began playing cricket at the age of 12.

Tony helped PNG qualify for the U-19 World Cup in 2008 by scoring a rapid 74 against Vanuatu in the qualifiers, and smashed 76 in 55 balls against Bermuda to hand his team a famous win in the competition.
