Victoria announces Men’s Imparja Cup squad

Northcote's Ben Abbatangelo has been named captain of the Victorian Imparja Cup squad for February's national tournament in Alice Springs.

Staged from February 8 to 14, the squad will be looking to claim its first Imparja Cup title with six Bartercard Premier Cricketers selected.

Captaining the side for a fourth consecutive year, Abbatangelo has amassed 331 runs in nine matches for Northcote’s first XI this season while Greenvale Kangaroos’ Alex Kerr has accumulated 168 runs.

Essendon’s Josh Eaton has taken 12 wickets while teammate Fletcher Stewart has claimed 21 wickets and made 64 runs for the second XI.

In six matches for Melbourne’s second XI, young Damon Egan has piled on 185 runs with his highest score being 68 against Prahran.

Wurruk Cricket Club’s Bohdi Walker returns to the squad, boosting the side’s bowling prospects while Wade and Travis King are new inclusions.

The brothers, from Warrenbayne Cricket Club, are the second set of brothers named in the side joining Patrick and Liam Jackson.

“As a squad we have put in some really good performances over the last three years but have just lacked the consistency to bring home our first Imparja Cup,” Abbatangelo said.

“Fingers crossed we can change that this year.”

“It is great to have both Wade and Travis involved this year as both have been performing well up in country Victoria.”

The squad will begin its preparation for the tournament at the Melbourne Stars Family Day at Casey Fields on Sunday when it faces Victoria Police Cricket Club in a Twenty20 match.

Also on the day, a member of the Victorian Men’s Imparja Cup squad will be announced as the Melbourne Stars BBL|04 Community Rookie.

The announcement will take place between 1 and 1.30pm with the squad’s practice match to follow.
