Cassie Pollock and Sam Harper have been named as the January nominees for the Commonwealth Bank Future Star Award.
Pollock has made her name as a developing wicketkeeper, impressing with the gloves at the recent Under-18 National Championships, securing the award for the most dismissals after a polished display behind the stumps.
Originally from Buln Buln, Pollock is in her second season with Dandenong and has played 17 matches in the Essteele Premier Firsts line-up that won last year’s trophy.
Melbourne CC’s Harper enjoyed a brilliant month having been named captain of the Team of the Tournament at the Under-17 National Championships.
Also a wicketkeeper, Harper completed the tournament with 343 runs and a batting average of 85.75, which included scores of 112, 109, 70* and 52.
Introduced in 2005-06, the award is presented each season to the best under-19 Victorian male and female player based on the their form at Premier Cricket level and at the National Championships, with nominations selected by a panel of committee members on a monthly basis.
The winners of the Commonwealth Bank Future Star Award will be crowned at the Cricket Victoria Gala night in April.
