The duo have been named in the NSW Women's Indigenous team to, subject to health advice, play the NSW Country Bush Breakers and an SCG XI in a T20 Women's Tri-Series at Bradman Oval, Bowral, on January 16.
The tournament is an important opportunity for the indigenous and country teams to represent their culture and regions, after the respective national championships were cancelled back in October largely due to limitations with travel restrictions and quarantine requirements caused by the ongoing pandemic.

The Indigenous team will be led by Julie Muir, who has captained the team to 13 consecutive titles at the National Indigenous Championships and will wear a special jersey, on the day, designed by squad member Dimity Parton.
Graham and Fleming were both part of last years victorious side, their efforts at the tournament also earning them selection in the Black Caps team of the tournament.
It will be, particularly for Graham, a busy few days.
She is set to captain the Central North under-19s at the Country Championships being played in Tamworth from January 13-14 January.
Then following the Tri-Series, on the Sunday, she will suit for the Northern Inland Bolters in their Regional Bash semi-final against the Coffs Coast Chargers at the SCG.
