Two Bay of Plenty age group cricket players have a shot at playing in a four nations under-19 cricket tournament in Australia during April 2012.

Joe Carter and Sean Davey have been selected to attend a New Zealand under-19 selection camp being held at Lincoln just outside Christchurch from today until February 23.

The best under-19 players in the country are trialling for 15 places in the New Zealand under-19 team that will play in the four nations series against Australia, India and England.

Participants at the under-19 camp will also be eying berths in the New Zealand team to compete at the ICC Under-19 World Cup to be played in Australia during August.

Both Joe and Sean earned berths in the Bay of Plenty senior representative team last season while still at Tauranga Boys' College.

They joined a select list of Bay players who have made there Bay senior men's team while still at secondary school.
