The Bay of Plenty Cricket selectors have continued their policy of picking promising youngsters who show solid form in the Baywide competitions, with Tauranga Boys' College youngster Ben Musgrave to make his Bay of Plenty Development team debut against Hamilton tomorrow.
The game will bring the Bay side's Basil McBurney
(ND development competition) Trophy campaign to an end for the current season.
With two big wins and a narrow loss to Counties Manukau on their season ledger, victory against their Waikato arch rivals would put the Bay side in the box season to retain the Basil McBurney silverware.
Captain Peter Wood played captain's knocks in the back-to-back development games played during the Auckland Anniversary holiday weekend. The first match against Northland saw Wood post a solid 48 runs as his side cruised to a nine-wicket victory, then he backed up the next day to top score with 41, in his team's loss to Counties Manukau.
Tai Bridgeman-Raison, who has returned to representative cricket this season, was in outstanding form against Northland, blasting a unbeaten 71 as the Bay side posted a solid win with nine wickets to spare.
