Harper and Pollock nominated for Commonwealth Bank Future Star Award
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.
