Former Australian Under-19 World Cup champion Harjas Singh has been rewarded for his sensational form with a maiden NSW second XI selection<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The 20-year-old was picked for next week\u2019s four-day clash against South Australia at Adelaide\u2019s Karen Rolton Oval, which begins Monday. <\/p>\n

Singh made global headlines last week when he smashed a 141-ball 314 in a one-day match for Western Suburbs against Sydney Cricket Club at Ashfield\u2019s Pratten Park. <\/p>\n

Singh\u2019s innings, the third-highest individual score in NSW Premier first-grade history, included 35 sixes and propelled his team to a record-breaking total of 5-483.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox Cricket<\/a> after the match, Singh said he had two goals for the season: play a second XI game for NSW and make his Big Bash League debut. <\/p>\n

The left-hander has a strong pedigree, having top-scored with 55 from 64 balls in Australia\u2019s Under-19 World Cup final win over India last year in South Africa. <\/p>\n

Three years ago, he became the eighth-youngest centurion in Sydney first-grade cricket, achieving the milestone before his 17th birthday. Singh also represented the Sydney Thunder in a T10 competition earlier this year.<\/p>\n
