Six NSW rising stars have been named in a 16-player Australian squad to tour England for a multi-format Under-19 series, which starts in August.
The Youth Selection Panel has selected Cameron Frendo, Ryan Hicks, Sam Konstas, Rafael MacMillan, Harjas Singh and Tom Straker, following training camps in Brisbane and Sri Lanka, where they will return for the 2024 ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Singh and Straker will make their second appearance in the gold and green colours this year. The pair were members of an Australian U19 squad that secured a series victory against a touring England U/19 team in January and February.
Hicks, Konstas and MacMillan are set to further progress through the national pathway system, building on their previous success of winning the U19 National Championship title in a dominant NSW Metropolitan side.
