Short and Blows nominated for Future Star Award
It is the third time in three seasons that Short has been nominated for the award, with the all-rounder bestowed the accolade in 2013-14.
The Commonwealth Bank Bushrangers rookie made his KFC T20 Big Bash League debut for the Melbourne Renegades during the month.
Short played his first BBL match against the Perth Scorchers on Boxing Day, picking up 1-26 from three overs.
He impressed in the following game against the Sydney Thunder with 0-8 from two overs and a catch in the outfield.
Short also represented the Cricket Australia XI in a tour match against India during December, striking 19 from 14 deliveries.
Box Hill all-rounder Blows was in incredible form in the VicSpirit Under-18 State Championships, striking two centuries on the opening day in two Twenty20 fixtures.
Playing for the Mallee Murray Heat, Blows smashed an unbeaten 125 from 69 deliveries, with 13 fours and seven sixes, against South East Metro.
She followed that later in the day with another 105 from 69 balls, with seven fours and eight sixes, in the Bulls’ total of 157.
Blows also notched her maiden Bartercard Premier Firsts half-century during December, with 51 against Essendon Maribyrnong Park.
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 Bartercard Premier Cricket level and at the National Championships, with nominations selected by a panel of committee members on a monthly basis.
