Sixteen-year-old Northern Territory cricketer Harrison Johnny says a historic summer for Indigenous cricketers will have important flow on effect, not long after becoming a trailblazer himself.

In Boorloo/Perth last month, Scott Boland and Brendan Doggett became the first Indigenous cricketers to together feature in an Australian Test XI when they helped bowl the hosts to a one-nil Ashes series lead.

Against England, Doggett became just the third man, and fifth Indigenous player overall, to receive a baggy green.

Just weeks earlier, Johnny, a fellow First Nations quick, was the first player from the NT to attend the National Indigenous Cricket Training Camp at the MCG.

He wasn't aware of the achievement until seeing it posted online.

"It's a great honour. I feel very proud...so does my family," he said.

Delivered by the Melbourne Cricket Club Foundation and Cricket Australia, the camp brings together emerging and established cricketers from across the country - some with national Indigenous side experienced - for intensive training and exposure to high-performance systems.

Scott Boland was there to deliver some advice to the group.

"He did say...you may get slogged for six, but you've just got to bring it back in. Keep your head cool," Johnny said.

Johnny was very much a junior amongst the men's cohort at the camp.

It's only a handful of summers, or winters given the NT's season, since he first got involved in the game around Mparntwe/Alice Springs.

Previously, footy and soccer had been his sports of choice.

"One day in year seven, my mate's dad said 'You should join our cricket team'...I joined up with the club [Complete Construction Cricket Club], improved very quickly and I found a love for the sport," Johnny said.

"From there I just wanted to keep improving, keep getting better. Being able to play in Alice A grade at only 14-15, it was a great experience, being able to learn quickly, learn more than what the kids my age were learning."

Johnny has continued to ply his trade against older opposition, at both the National Indigenous Cricket Championships for the NT in Mackay earlier this year, and at the tournament's pre-cursor, the Imparja Cup, which continues to call Alice home.

"I would describe it as a great opportunity for young Aboriginal cricketers to get around people, play the sport that they love and be seen by people looking for younger cricketers, or even older blokes," Johnny said of the Imparja Cup.

"It's a really good opportunity and a competition for Indigenous people. It's a really good thing to have," while adding there's plenty to learn from the "older blokes".

It was at the annual community, major centres and schools Indigenous cricket gathering where Johnny was identified to represent the Northern Territory at the National Indigenous Cricket Championships.

For the next generation, Boland and Doggett's historic representation at the top level is inspiring, he said. Particularly for him, as another emerging Indigenous fast bowler.

"Seeing two very good cricket players, fast bowlers, Indigenous...it's great to see," he said.

"I personally look up to Scott Boland. Now...I can look up to Doggett too. All the Indigenous boys and girls around Australia can all look up to them. It's great to see."

The Imparja Cup returns to Alice from February 20-24.
