Victorian Premier Cricket clubs name their Dowling Shield squads

The best under-17 cricketers in Victoria will showcase their talent in the coming weeks as the time honoured Dowling Shield begins. SEE ALL THE TEAMS

Victoria’s greatest cricketers have come through the Dowling Shield.

Shane Warne got his first taste of representative cricket with Melbourne University in the then under-16 Dowling Shield in 1983-84, bowling a mixture of leg-spin and off-spin.

Damien Fleming played for South Melbourne at the old Lakeside Oval, terrorising opponents with raw pace, and was so impressive South hand-picked him — mid-carnival — to make his senior debut in the Third XI as a 15-year-old.

Dean Jones took his early cricket steps as a Carlton Dowling Shield player.

Now the latest crop of teenage stars will have the chance to showcase their talent in the Dowling Shield, starting on January 23.

All 18 Victorian Premier Cricket clubs will field an under-17 side, with kids from all around Victoria coming to Melbourne, for what is known as Cricket Victoria’s “finishing school’’.
