Scott Boland Brother Nick Boland Played Professional Cricket For Victoria’s League
Scott Boland brother Nick Boland is also a professional cricket player. Nick represented the Victorian Indigenous team.
Boland and his young sibling, who plays for the indigenous Australian team, began playing cricket together when they were young. Both Scott and Nick belong to the Australian Aboriginal group of descent from the Gulidjan tribe of Victoria.
After they found their ancestral link to an endemic tribe, Scott and Nick developed a strong desire to join an Aboriginal squad. 2018’s indigenous tour of England included their debut performance as a pair. It was the first time the two Bolands played together at a professional level.
After his recent emphatic performance in the victory against West Indies, Scott cemented his team position. He was spotted in action during the training session of the Australian team and is expected to start the game against South Africa in the first test match on December 17.
Scott Boland Brother Nick Boland
Scott Boland brother Nick Boland played professional cricket for Victoria’s Futures League team in 2017.
The 33-year-old cricket player Nick, a former teammate of Scott, is a gifted fast bowler who played for Victoria’s Futures League squad.
In January 2020, KFC Big Bash League uploaded a picture of the two siblings on Twitter, coining them as “The Boland Brothers.”
Nicholas ‘Nick’ Boland competed for Australia’s Indigenous team during the off-season and had previously represented Victoria in the Indigenous national championships.
Although he is not a big-time international cricket player like Scott, he is still playing in an indigenous domestic league in Australia. Scott and Nick, who were born only two years apart, had always been very close, both personally and professionally.
The Bolands Scott and Nick Boland played together for the first time in the National Indigenous team in August 2017. They played together for the first time professionally, thanks to the Indigenous experience. It was the first time they played as teammates in eight or nine years.
They did hope it would not be the last time either, as both of them wanted to play beside one another in a team. And nevertheless, they got the chance to play together once again in 2018. The famed Aboriginal cricket team’s historic 150th anniversary trip to England occurred the following year.
Scott, Nick, and Daniel Christian, Scott’s Victorian colleague and one of just three men of Indigenous ancestry, who is also the captain of the Indigenous national squad, want to be a part of it.
Nick has a picture of him and Scott as his Instagram profile picture. He seems a private person as he has kept his Instagram profile @nickboland_ status private. It has 163 posts and a thousand followers. Similarly, Nick joined Twitter in July 2014 but has not been active lately, as no recent activities can be found on his account.
Scott And Nick Aboriginal Team Tour To UK
Scott and Nick made it to the Aboriginal team tour to the UK in 2018.
Just a year after playing with each other, they had a chance to share the same pitch in the 2018 Australian Aboriginal XI tour to England. The trip was made to mark the 150th anniversary of the all-Indigenous Australian athletic team’s first foreign tour in 1868.

An Australian cricket team hadn’t previously represented the nation abroad before the 1868 trip, and it was the first time in 150 years of the country’s sports history they were playing in a foreign land. Some analysts remarked that Boland was lethal, making him a highlight on tour.
Every player on the pitch was given a respective name of the 1868 squad team. The initial squad member Yellanach, sometimes known as Johnny Cuzens, gave Scott the nickname Gulligan whereas his half-blood Nick got the name Gronggarrong, aka mosquito.

However, it was only in 2017 Scott, and his family figured out that they originated from the aboriginal tribe of Gulidjan. His grandfather John Edward was from that tribe in the Colac village of Victoria.
After learning this, Boland made an effort to embrace his Native American roots by participating in native sports teams and seeking further information about native customs.
Boland has received several honors for his domestic cricket accomplishments and even joined the national team, but his time with the Australian national team is far from good.
