SEVEN Geelong cricketers have been selected to represent Victoria at the U\/16 Female 2024-25 National Championships.<\/p>\n

Chloe Sewell, Sarah Burton, Grace Potter, Ally Croft, Eve Righetti and Annie Taylor will play for Victoria Country, while star batter Gurveer Padam will play for Vic Metro.<\/p>\n

The tournament will be held in Ballarat next year from January 6 to January 13.<\/p>\n

Geelong Cricket Club president Jenny Decker said the players selection in their respective squads is attributable to the club’s efforts in building junior development.<\/p>\n

“Affectionately known as the “rat pack” to our coaching team, this young group of girls are the perfect mix of natural talent that has met a dedicated development program,<\/p>\n

“The club made the decision a number of years ago to invest heavily into our academy and development programs, it’s great to see the reward for effort for our coaches, players and support team.”<\/p>\n

She said the club has a lofty goal of becoming the best Premier Cricket Club in Australia one day and hopes the “rat pack” can be part of it.<\/p>\n

“With the strength of talent in our current playing squads, development teams and our coaching group, we are well on our way.”<\/p>\n
