These representative sides all compete in international events, including ICC events.
The general path to selection for one of the National Squads is through application, and then invitation to one of the Regional combines (to be held in Q2 of 2018), Zonal High Performance Programs, and then on to the National Training Camps.
This pathway will become even more robust when Regional and National Championships become a regular fixture of the annual cricket calendar, with the first being planned for the second half of 2018.
