Cricket Australia has announced its Under 23 Men's and Women's National Indigenous Development Squads ahead of November's training camp at the MCG.
The fourth of its kind, the camp — set to be held from November 21-25 — will bring together Indigenous cricketers from across Australia to undergo a week of intensive training, cultural exchanges and competitive cricket.
Similar to previous years, the camp will feature two T20 matches against Melbourne Cricket Club Men's and Women's XIs on the MCG, as well as training sessions, personal development opportunities and the exploration and celebration of First Nations' cultures
Squad inclusions include high performers from April's National Indigenous Cricket Championships.
"It's great to see so much exciting talent that has been identified through the National Indigenous Championships earlier this year now getting their opportunity to further develop at the training camp," Cricket Australia chief of cricket, James Allsopp, said.
"The MCG Training Camp offers a fantastic opportunity for First Nations emerging cricketers to continue to hone their skills in an elite environment, as well as engaging with other personal development opportunities and cultural experiences.
"We're grateful for the ongoing support of the MCC Foundation in offering these development opportunities to build more pathways for talented young First Nations cricketers striving to play in our elite competitions.
The MCG Training Camp forms part of a partnership between Cricket Australia and the MCC Foundation to improve opportunities for First Nations Cricketers and provide development opportunities.
MCC Foundation also supports Cricket Australia's National Indigenous Cricket Championships as part of the partnership, which is now in its fourth year.
MCC Foundation chair, Christian Johnston, said the Foundation is "delighted to welcome this year's National Indigenous Development Squads, their coaches and support staff to the MCG for our annual training camp".
"Entering the first year of our renewed partnership with Cricket Australia, we're focused on giving First Nations cricketers a genuine pathway to elite competition, along with the privilege of playing on the hallowed turf of the MCG," Mr Johnston said.
"We're excited to see the skills and connections the players build during the training camp, and we look forward to watching them as their careers progress."
