WA pair set for National U19 Men's Talent Camp

Claremont Nedlands allrounder Matthew Lough and Gosnells bowler Noyan Rostame have been selected among 25 emerging players identified at last season’s National U17 Championships.

Both players have been members of the WA U17 team over the past two seasons, with Lough named captain of the side for the 2025-2026 tournament.

Lough, pictured above, enjoyed a stellar tournament as captain, scoring a competition high 326 runs and taking 11 wickets and was named Player of the Tournament.

The four-day program starts Australia’s preparations for the 2028 ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup cycle. 

The camp will feature two 50-over intra-squad matches and a T20 fixture, complemented by testing and education sessions.
