Arua died at Port Moresby General Hospital on Thursday. The news plunged the PNG cricket community into mourning and brought back difficult memories of wicketkeeper Kopi John’s death aged 25 in 2019 following a battle with illness. Arua first debuted for the PNG Lewas in 2010 and captained the team when they first began playing full-fledged T20 international cricket in 2018. The left-arm wrist spinner featured in the team’s Pacific Cup triumph in January this year.
The Australian High Commission in Papua New Guinea also said it was saddened by the news of Arua’s death. “Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Kaia’s family, friends, teammates and the cricket fraternity in PNG,” it said. “Kaia was no stranger to the High Commission, admired for her leadership and dedication to the sport.
