Our Under 17 and Under 19 representative teams form a crucial part of the Cricket Whanganui pathway, bridging the gap between junior pathways and senior representative cricket. These squads give talented young players the chance to compete against the best in the Central Districts region, preparing them for the challenges of senior cricket.

Players are identified through school and club performances, as well as observation days. Once selected, they enter a structured environment with quality coaching, regular training, and fixtures designed to challenge and inspire.

Representing Whanganui at U17 and U19 level is about more than cricket — it’s about developing leadership, teamwork, and resilience both on and off the field.
