NSW unveiled their 2024-25 contract list with the Under-19 trio added alongside recruits Maddinson, who returns to NSW after six seasons with Victoria, and Philippe who has crossed from Western Australia.
“Sam [Konstas] and Jack [Nisbet] both confirmed their talent and development at the domestic level last season and are deserving of their elevation to full contracts,” Mail said.
“By the same account, Ryan Hicks and Charlie Anderson showed internationally at under 19 level and then through weight of consistency at Premier Cricket level that they were ready for rookie contracts and a full-time professional opportunity.”
“Players of the calibre of Josh [Philippe] and Nic [Maddinson] don’t become available every season and we are extremely happy to welcome them into the group.
“Both bring a number of strengths and a wealth of experience and they will help the balance and depth of our squad. We have a really solid group of experienced senior players that can aid in the growth of our emerging talent.
