Cricket Tasmania is proud to announce the U19 state team who will be representing Tasmania at the upcoming U19 National Championship in Albury next week.
Many of Tasmania’s currently contracted players competed in the U19 National Championship across previous seasons and gave themselves a great platform to start their professional career.
