St Pat's Old Boys junior Angus Parsons has been selected to represent Western in the under 16s Bradman Cup, while fellow Saints talent Cooper Brien and Centennials Bulls' Ethan Muller have been picked in the Western under 18s Country Championships Colts side.

Parsons, who has previously represented Central West this season, said he's looking forward to playing with his mates at the three-day carnival.

"I'm very excited to play quality level cricket and challenge myself," he said.

"Our Western team is hoping to be very competitive. We have a very strong bowling and batting lineup.

"It's hard to predict year-to-year, however, ACT are always strong and I know a few people in Riverina and they have a very good star players."

Western Zone begins its Bradman Cup campaign on Tuesday against ACT Southern Districts at Alexandra Park in East Albury, followed by a match against Riverina on Wednesday at Billson Oval in Albury, before concluding the carnival against Greater Illawarra on Thursday at the Urana Road Oval in Lavington.

There is a chance of rain at the start of the week, but Parsons is hoping the weather won't play a part at the carnival.

"I'm pretty hopeful that we will get on," he said.

"The rain is coming Sunday and Monday, so hopefully when we start on Tuesday and hopefully have dried up a far bit. The outfields might be slow early in the week but it should quicken up later in the week. With any luck, there will be a bit in it for the bowlers."

He's rated a number of fellow teammates as players to watch.

"I really like the look of Anthony Atlee and Ryan Goodsell attacking with the bat and Hugh Sienkiewicz can stay in all day with the bat," he said.

"Riley Keen will open the bowling and will bowl with some real heat and Connor Whale will put the ball on the spot every time with the ball."

The winner of the Bradman Cup will play the winner of the Sydney Cricket Association's AW Green Shield, while four combined country teams will also be selected to take part in the under 16s State Challenge.

Brien and Muller's Western colts team will play the same teams on the same day as the Bradman Cup team, except Tuesday's match is at Urana Road Oval, Wednesday's at Bunton Park in Albury and Thursday's at Xavier High School in Lavington.
