Bradman Cup coach Dean Roxburgh said he was very impressed with the 13 players picked.
"It was tough to pick the team as there was some good cricket played over the last month," he said.
"It's a very young side, which means they will be able to play this year and next year as well."
Roxburgh said he had high hopes for the side to do well when the competition involving the Central Coast, Central Northern, Greater Illawarra, Newcastle, North Coastal, Riverina and the Western region begins on December 2.
"Their biggest strength is the fact they bat from one to 12," he said.
"About nine of them can bowl including the wicketkeeper and their fielding is superb too."
The players who missed out on the side will have an opportunity to crack into it again next year.
In the final of the Inter Association competition, the Rams beat the Highlands by 34 runs at Seiffert Oval on Sunday, November 12.
