Ahead of the upcoming National Championships, Tasmania has confirmed its squads for the U19 Male Championship in Perth and the U19 Female Championship in Newcastle.<\/p>\n
The male squad starts its National Championship campaign in less than a week and will be buoyed by the inclusion of Zac Curtain, who was recently announced as one of the rookie-contracted players joining the Tasmanian Tigers program.<\/p>\n
Greater Northern Raiders players Lachlan Clark, Jack Crane, and Tom Dwyer, fresh off their Kookaburra Cup 1st Grade Men\u2019s title win over the weekend \u2013 are also included in Tasmania\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n
Remarkably, every player in the U19 squad has featured in the Wilson Homes Cricket Tasmania Premier League 1st Grade competition.<\/p>\n
Alistair Taylor, Head Coach of the U19 Male National Championship squad, is pleased with the group that will represent the state next week.<\/p>\n
“We are really happy with the squad we have put together for this year’s nationals in Perth.<\/p>\n
“There is a good blend of talent from all parts of the state, and plenty of players who still have more than one year of eligibility in the U19 age group.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to seeing what our boys can do against some of the bigger states and am confident we can put some good performances out there and play together as a team,\u201d said Taylor.<\/p>\n
The Female U19 National Championship will be held in Newcastle starting on 15 December and features some of Tasmania\u2019s best up-and-coming talent.<\/p>\n
Included in the squad is Tasmanian Tigers rookie-contracted player Ava Curtis, whose all-round ability with bat and ball will be key in their matches.<\/p>\n
The team will be captained by Mia Barwick, who recently won Player of the Match in the CTPL Women\u2019s 1st Grade Final on Sunday night and was also included in the Hobart Hurricanes T20 Spring Challenge squad alongside teammate Ava Curtis.<\/p>\n
There is also a strong blend of experience, with many players having competed in the 2024\u201325 National Championship.<\/p>\n
The U19 squad will also be ably supported by Tasmanian Tigers player and reigning Veronica Pyke Medallist Maisy Gibson, who joins as an Assistant Coach for the Championship.<\/p>\n
Harry Allanby, Head Coach of the Female U19 squad, is looking forward to seeing what they can achieve in Newcastle this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are really looking forward to seeing our U19s squad compete this December.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been great to see the improvement from the girls over not just the pre-season but over the last couple of years, and a lot of our squad have had opportunities in these championships before, and we feel we can really go and compete this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve put in lots of hard work and now it\u2019s time for them to go and showcase their skills against the best in the country,\u201d stated Allanby.<\/p>\n
The squads for both tournaments including their coaching teams can be found below.<\/p>\n
