The four squads to compete at the Male Under 15 State Challenge, at Blacktown International Sportspark from 15 to 16 December, have been announced.
Two squads each from ACT/NSW Country and NSW Metropolitan have been chosen for the State Challenge which will act as a selection trial for the Under 15 National Championships in February.
The State Challenge represents an important progression from the Cricket NSW Youth Championships which has been introduced for the first time this season.
The Youth Championships see players represent their Metropolitan or Country zones in their age group.
