Ashkenazi and Smith stars of the future

Ben Ashkenazi and Emily Smith have been named the November nominees for the Commonwealth Bank Future Star Award.

Frankston Peninsula paceman Ashkenazi has secured his position in the strong Heat 1st XI bowling attack this season, after picking up 4-34 against Dandenong in round four.

Ashkenazi will lead the Victorian attack at the Under-19 National Championships to be played in Adelaide in January.

Opening batter and wicketkeeper, Essendon Maribyrong Park’s Emily Smith has developed at a rapid pace this season under the tutelage of several Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit players at the Bombers.

She struck season-high totals of 51 and 34 during November and also impressed with her glovework, having executed six stumpings and has been recently named in the Victorian under-18 squad for the National Championships.

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 in 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.
