The batting all-rounder, who plays for Riverside in the Cricket North competition, was named as the men's captain when both squads were announced on Tuesday.
He will be joined by fellow Cricket North players and Greater Northern Raiders teammates Aidan O'Connor (Riverside) and Spencer Hayes (Mowbray) as Alistair Taylor (Launceston) coaches the side and Harry Nichols assists.
The Greater Northern Raiders boast four members of the women's squad, with Julia Cavanough (Tigers/Hurricanes), Ava Curtis, Alice McLauchlan (South Launceston) and Kate Sherriff (Riverside) all making the cut.
The women's side will also see a former Cricket North player involved behind the scenes, with Launceston's Alex Pyecroft assisting head coach Natalie Schilov.
Western Australia will be the women's team's destination, playing in Perth from December 5 to 12 before the men travel to Adelaide from December 15 to 22.
Hobart Hurricanes leg-spinner Amy Smith will captain the women's side and will be joined by fellow WBBL-contracted player Cavanough, who is currently on the sidelines with a thumb injury.

As a sports-mad fan who loves to remain challenged, sports journalism always seemed the path for me and it's allowed me to do things I never thought possible. A keen racquet sports player, I'm experienced in that field, allowing me to do my job at a strong standard.
