Jayden Park, Pat Magann and Jono Maloney all earned the call up to play against some of the country’s best up and coming talent in the annual interstate tournament.
Park and Magann are both Eastern Suburbs juniors now plying their trade elsewhere.
Park made his Sydney first grade debut for Mosman recently after spending last season in Newcastle with Stockton.
Magann shifted from the Griffins to Wallsend this summer.
Maloney last played for Raymond Terrace in 2013-2014 after being part of a Lions first grade premiership winning side the campaign before.
The Western Suburbs junior was linked with Sydney club Northern Districts last season.
They will combine forces in the ACT-NSW Country squad with fellow Central North junior representative James Psarakis.
Jonte Pattison of the Central Coast has been named skipper.
The ACT-Southern zone scored six caps – Matthew Gilkes, Henry Hunt, Blake MacDonald, Joe Slater, Ben Taylor and Mac Wright.
Lewin Maladay of North Coastal and Western’s Jacob McNaught round out the team.
Former Australia A fast bowler and current Merewether opener Marc Cameron will be the assistant coach.
Greg McLey is the head coach.
The 11-day carnival starts on November 30.
