In the first phase, the 93 City Cricket Association coaches will shortlist 10 players from each City Cricket Association, following which they will travel to designated centres where 35 and 70 players for U13 and U16, respectively will be selected for wrist tests after their trials are held under the supervision of the junior selection committee.
\nThe performers of School Cricket Championship will also be available for selection in the U13 and U16 teams. Those players who are born on or after September 1, 2008 will be eligible to take part in the U13 trials, while players born or after September 1, 2005 will be eligible for U16 trials.
