Until the 2008–09 season, Klinger played for Victoria and for St Kilda Cricket Club in Premier Cricket.

“We are delighted to be hosting Michael for a Shabbat dinner,” South Caulfield Shule’s Rabbi Daniel Rabin told The AJN.

“He is someone who has truly demonstrated the meaning of a being a ‘good sport’ both on and off the field.

“He has been a great role model to cricketers across the country and we look forward to hearing from him at the dinner.”

Kabbalat Shabbat will commence at 6.30pm followed by a sumptuous dinner catered by To Catch a Chef.
