Competing from December 2-12, Launceston and Greater Northern Raiders player Lachlan Newland will make his second consecutive appearance while NTCA teammate Dihan Cloete and Raiders ally Ben Spinks both debut in the squad.
Set to be coached by Northern product Allister de Winter and assisted by former Sheffield Shield representatives Wade Townsend and Xavier Doherty, the side will be looking to improve on their impressive 2018 campaign in which they bagged five victories.
