Baseball Australia has today announced the Emeralds training squad that will prepare for selection for the 2016 WBSC Women’s Baseball World Cup to be held in Gijang City, South Korea, September 3 to 11, 2016.
The 2016 training squad has been named following the January Nationals and off the back of the Roadshow Events held in March and April across the country, that gave selectors the chance to see a range of players they may not have seen at Nationals.
“We were able to see close to 80 women and girls who turned up to show their stuff,” said Emeralds Manager Simone Wearne. “It was great to see so many people in attendance, especially the young players who are the future of our program."
"We want to give as many players as possible the chance to work hard over winter and put themselves into contention to be at the World Cup this year. By selecting 40 players, we are throwing down the challenge to a heap of younger, and older players, and inviting them to work harder than ever before to be part of the Emeralds Team in 2016".
All players will attend a team selection camp at the end of July when a final team of 20 players will be selected to travel to Korea for the World Cup beginning on September 3.
Congratulations to the following players who have been named in this year’s squad.
