  • Northern Territory 9 Victoria Metro 17
    On behalf of Cricket Australia, I welcome all players, parents and families to this year's Under 19 Male National Championships. Cricket Australia’s Underage National Championships are an integral part of the Australian Cricket Pathway, and continue to provide important development opportunities for our emerging stars. These championships have been the largest contributor of talent to the men’s national team since their establishment, and have helped the likes of Australian captains Tim Paine and Aaron Finch rise from young guns to international leaders. We have already seen a group of players make the step up to JLT Sheffield Shield cricket this summer, after playing at last season’s Under 19 Male National Championships. In the first half of the season, Jack Edwards and Jason Sangha have made their debuts for New South Wales, as has Lloyd Pope for South Australia and Nathan McSweeney for Queensland. It just goes to show that the next level is not that far away. To all of our players, this is an exciting phase of your sporting journey and I encourage you to embrace this experience. Enjoy the challenge of testing yourselves against the best players from right across Australia, and the opportunity to play with your teammates and create memories that will last throughout your cricketing careers and beyond. Good luck to all!

    “We have previously held tournaments in Darwin during Australia’s winter months and the community has really embraced the chance to see international teams and some of Australia’s best players in action,” Mr Howard said. “We prepared in Darwin before the successful 2012 tour of the United Arab Emirates and the conditions were ideal. We have received great support from the Northern Territory Government and NT Cricket, who are all looking forward to hosting some high quality and entertaining cricket. “From a team performance point of view, the conditions will give our next tier players a great opportunity to press their claims for higher honours against some very strong opposition.” Mr Conlan said the Territory Government had lobbied hard to secure the tournament. “It’s been a priority of the Country Liberals Government to get international cricket back to the Territory in all forms of the game and it’s fantastic to see Cricket Australia work with us to achieve that goal,” he said. “Today’s announcement follows last year’s historic Ashes Tour Match between the Chairman’s XI and England in Alice Springs, as well as the Under 19 International cricket series held in Darwin. “These games are an important opportunity for our junior cricketers to see the elite stars of the game in action up close and see first-hand what is needed to perform at the top level of the sport. “Some of the big names coming up for the series include Phillip Hughes, Mitchell Starc, all-rounder James Faulkner, one of the best finishers in One Day International cricket, Australian Twenty20 top order batsman Cameron White and the Territory’s own Kane Richardson.
