Dubbo trio Ben Wheeler, Tom Coady, and Brock Larance all were selected with the latter being named the captain of the side.
Rugby opener Wheeler captained the Dubbo side at last weekend's Western Zone colts carnival and made a century in the side's victory over the Chairman's XI.
Sixteen-year-old wicket-keeper Coady, who plays his club cricket for CYMS, top-scored for Dubbo in their loss to Orange, making 88.
Larance did not play in the carnival, due to Cricket Australia game management plans, but is preparing to suit up for the NSW/ACT Country under 19s side at the National Championships in Perth.
