New Zealand Under-19 side announced New Zealand Cricket - 24 December 2002
The New Zealand Under-19 side to play in the Provincial A tournament from January 2-14 was named following the end of the national Under-19 tournament yesterday. The side is:
Simon Allen (Wellington)
Kaushik Patel (coach) Three players who were in last year's team were not considered for selection. They were Leighton Burtt and Richard Sherlock (injured) and Jesse Ryder (selected for the State Central District Stags). "It was disappointing to lose three players and we have looked to replace them with youth with an eye to next year's Under-19 team," New Zealand Cricket academy director Dayle Hadlee said. "The team was selected based on performances during the past week. We saw some excellent play on pitches suited to batting and there was good competition for places in the team." The stand-out players of the tournament were Ross Taylor, who scored in excess of 500 runs during the tournament, James Hill, an off-spinner and left-hand batsmen who is a superb all-rounder, and Greg Hegglun, a medium-fast bowler, who took the most wickets. © New Zealand Cricket
