THREE of Worcestershire's top up-and-coming youngsters Chris Liptrot, Kadeer Ali and Stephen Peters will be spending next winter at the Cricket Academy in Perth, Australia.
They have been opportunity to go 'Down Under' by the New Road club's Supporters' Association and sponsors, Apollo 2000.
Last winter Kabir Ali and 22-year-old Liptrot went to the same Academy and gained valuable experience.
The County's Director of Cricket Tom Moody said: "Kabir came back in great form and was our player of the month for May and June.
"Chris also came back in good form but an early season injury has halted his progress this season.
"They both benefited hugely from the experience and I am delighted that we can send three players abroad this winter."
Liptrot and 19-year-old Kadeer will leave for Perth in October, but 23-year-old Peters will not go out until after Christmas.
Dave Broughall, managing director of Apollo 2000, said: "It is vital these young players get this level of experience during our winter months. We are proud to be part of this scheme."
