Victoria name Female National Under 19 Championships squads

Cricket Victoria has announced the 14-player Metro and Country squads, which includes four current Victorian contracted players.

Tess Flintoff, Lara Shannon, Ella Hayward (Vic Metro) and Rhys McKenna (Vic Country) have been selected while fellow Victorian players Amy Vine and Rhiann O’Donnell will act as assistant coaches for the championships.

The National Championships will showcase the best young cricketers in the top age group of Australian Cricket’s Pathways system.

Cricket Victoria’s Emerging Player Performance Manager – Female, Andy Christie said:

“Both Victorian teams boast an exciting list of players who will no doubt be keen to test themselves against the best in Australia at the upcoming National Championships in Adelaide.

“With the Championships scheduled for April players have had the opportunity to compete in a full season of cricket whilst also being involved in the Cricket Victoria Emerging Player Program. The program has provided players with the opportunity to train alongside the best underage players from around Victoria.”

A full National Championships program is expected to return in the 2022-23 season.
