In a new initiative this season the Wellington U20 side will play in the Pearce Cup One-Day competition. The U20s will play a full round of matches, mostly on Sundays, against the eight club sides. It is hoped that their inclusion will provide these players with a competitive cricket pathway to bridge the gap between the U18 and U23 representative tournaments. However the U20 side will not be eligible for the final should it qualify and club teams will have first use of their individual players when they clash.
The squad is (subject to change, subject to availabilities and other players playing well in club cricket):
Craig Cachopa - Karori
Josh Cuttance - Onslow
Sam Dean - Taita
Andrew Fletcher - Onslow
Jamie Gibson - Easts
Sam Keegan - Norths
Scott Kuggeleijn - Collegians
Hamish Kyne - Norths
Corey Larsen - Onslow
Charlie McLean - Karori
Fergus Martin – Hutt Districts
Sean O’Connor - Easts
Andrew Pollock - Easts
Matt Taylor – Upper Hutt
Henry Walsh - Taita
Nick Ward – Petone/Riverside
Harry Wright - Karori
Matthew Bell – Overage player/coach
Gavin Larsen – Manager
