The young gun has been selected in the Victoria Country under 17s team which will compete in the Western Summer Series next month.

The series will take place in Dunkeld and Hamilton against the under 17 Vic Metro and South Australian teams while a Cricket Victoria under 16s XI will also feature.

It has been created in a bid to give young players an opportunity to still play after the under 17 national championships were cancelled.

Shane Koop will coach the Vic Country under 17 side, with Dean Russ to lead the competition's youngest players.

“Representative matches are an important part of a player’s development and we’re delighted to continue to provide this opportunity,” Russ said.

“We congratulate the players on their commitment to the program so far and we look forward to seeing their performances in the Western Summer Series.”

Teams will compete in a mix of T20 and 50 over matches with games live streamed and scorecards available via MyCricket.

Echuca's Kobyn James has been picked in the under 16 team.
