Indoor Cricket New Zealand (ICNZ) held their yearly Senior Provincial competition over the weekend in Auckland, playing host to 15 teams from five different provinces across grades featuring Premier Men, Premier Women, 21 & Under Boys and 21 & Under Girls.
Auckland were crowned champions in the Premier Men’s, defeating Northern Districts in the final, while the roles were reversed in the Premier Women’s, as Northern were victorious. Wellington claimed both titles in the 21 & Under Boys’ and Girls’ respectively.
Following the conclusion of the tournament, selectors named New Zealand representative squads across each grade to take on Australia in a series in September 2019. Due to the dearth of international indoor fixtures in any year, teams are announced well in advance to give players and coaching staff adequate planning and preparation time. The squads of 16 are wider training squads, subsequently trimmed down to 12 for a tournament.
There were several new players in each squad, compared to the squads who competed at last year’s World Cup in the UAE. Some players were not available for the tournament and as a result were not selected, whilst others were elevated from previous age-group teams.
