Thirty-six players have been selected to represent NZ Secondary Schools on a tour of Malaysia and Singapore in April.
Two boys’ teams — representing U-19 and U-16 age groups — will play representative teams from Malaysia and Singapore, and play two warm-up games, on the tour.
The squads leave New Zealand on April 6, 2023, and return on April 17, 2023.
Selectors chose the squads after North v South trial games at Auckland’s Seddon Fields.
Played in extremely wet and windy conditions, North beat South 2-0 in the U-16 game, while the U-19 trial ended in a 2-2 draw.
