Central Indians' Ryan Neves is one of five Bay of Plenty cricket players selected to represent ND Maori on Sunday.
The ND Maori team is playing a Kaipaki Invitation XI at Kaipaki, before meeting New Zealand Croatia and Waikato University later in the season.
The New Zealand Croatia game isa regular fixture on the ND Maori annual schedule along with regular games, both home and away, with the Cook Islands National team.
Neves has been making a name for himself in the Central Indians Baywide premier team in recent weeks. Also in the team is Lake Taupo's Shannon McSkimming who has previously played for the Bay of Plenty Development side.
Eastern Bay of Plenty bowler Chris Tupaea has played Bay of Plenty Lakeland age-group cricket and took a six wicket bag for Whakatane United in club cricket, before the holiday season break.
Mikaere Leef and Ben Pomare are two of the most promising young talent in the Western Bay of Plenty and have also earned selection in the ND team, with solid form this season. Leef was a member of the Bay of Plenty Coastland Senior Secondary that won the 2016 ND Senior Secondary title.
Pomare played for the ND Invitation side at the ND tournament and was chosen for the ND Under 17 team, that played in the North Island tournament in Wellington recently.
