These players will join with the Northern Territory's best players to stage a series of high-level cricket competitions.

Joining Gilkes up north will be fellow NSW players Kurtis Patterson, Jack and Mickey Edwards, Ryan Hackney, Jason Sangha, Lachlan Hearne, Chris Tremain and Hayden Kerr.

CNSW head of male cricket, Michael Klinger, said Cricket 365 presented young players with ongoing developmental opportunities.

"Cricket 365 will give some of our best young players a chance to continue playing cricket throughout the winter months and in doing so give them some experience in the rigours of playing cricket year-round," Klinger said.

"All of these guys have demonstrated a desire to continue to improve their games and we are looking forward to them coming back to our setup later in the year having grown as players and young men."

Darwin and Palmerston are the ideal locations in the north to play during the winter months in Australia with perfect weather conditions, first-class standard venues and a winter club cricket ecosystem.
