Central Districts Cricket is pleased to announce the following players selected to represent CD at the Men’s National Under-17 tournament in Auckland from 13-20 January 2018.

Earlier today CD announced two sets of twins (Anna and Kate Gaging, of Nelson, and Wairarapa Korus Kate and Gemma Sims) in the women’s Under-18s and the men’s Under-17 squad also features a pair of identical twins from Nelson College, Thomas and David Zohrab.

Both brothers are all-rounders, however it will be of great relief to the scorers and match officials that David typically opens the batting and bowls off-spin while Thomas (pictured) bats at number four and bowls medium-fast pace.
