Sydney Thunder's Phoebe Litchfield, who became the youngest player to hit a half-century in the WBBL at just 16 in October, 2019, will join Corowa's Gabby Sutcliffe and Howlong's Ebony Hoskin in the ACT-NSW Country under 19s.

Sutcliffe, who also plays for the Thunder, will captain the team.

It will face NSW Metro, Victorian Country and Victorian Metro in a series of T20 and one-day matches from April 8-13.

The matches have been added following the cancellation of the Under 19 nationals, due to COVID.

"The girls have been training since July. It looked like there wasn't going to be any cricket ... can only be beneficial," CNSW female talent manager Steve Jenkin said.

"The boys go down there and play regularly, and they rave about the games.
