Queensland cricket prodigy Jordan Bye has been selected for the Australian Junior Boys team ahead of their tour to Sri Lanka next month.

The Bar-Barrum allrounder from Townsville's Western Suburbs Cricket Club was selected with the support of the Queensland Cricket Foundation's Indigenous Scholarship.

Proud dad Andrew Bye said it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his son.

"I've tried to pass that on to Jordy … I told him, 'you may never get to play cricket overseas ever again'," he said, the Townsville Bulletin reports.

"And not just cricket either, just life lessons he will learn along the way."

Regularly playing above his age groups for Western Suburbs' under-15 team, Jordan was selected on the back of strong form at both club and representative level.

Across all formats this season, the 13-year old scored a respectable 275 runs at 30.56 and took 19 wickets at a miserly 6.89.

Following his selection, Western Suburbs paid tribute to Jordan's worth ethic.

"All your hard work and dedication have truly paid off and we couldn't be prouder! Best of luck, Jordan – we can't wait to hear how you go!," the club said, via Facebook.

Both Jordan's father and grandfather will accompany Jordan on the international tour.

"I've never thought about going to Sri Lanka for a holiday or anything like that but the more I've looked into it the more I've thought it looks like a beautiful spot and the more people you talk to the more they say, 'I've been there and it's magic," Mr Bye said, the Townsville Bulletin reports.

Jordan chipped in with a handy 2-7 in his side's eight wicket semi-final victory on Saturday.

The Australian Junior Boys Team will tour Colombo, Kandy and Dombagoda from April 3 to 15.
