Footscray’s Dylan Brasher will captain the side, while fellow contracted-players Ashley Chandrasinghe, Cameron McClure and Doug Warren will join him against the Redbacks.
Harry Dixon and Harkirat Bajwa have also been named following their successful Under 19 World Cup campaign.
Cricket Victoria’s Head of Male Cricket, David Hussey, said that the game would be a great experience for Victoria’s up and coming cricketers.
“Our players are excited to be able to head out to Bendigo and take on South Australia in what should be a good opportunity for them,” he said.
