Sheehan, 17, has been picked in the Australian development squad that will tour New Zealand in January, next year, playing six Twenty20 matches and a one-day game.
“I’m really pumped to have made the squad; it took a couple of days for it to sink in that I made it,” Sheehan said on Friday.
“To be able to represent Australia is obviously one of the biggest things I’ve ever done, so I can’t wait to get into it.”
Sheehan plays for St Paul’s in the Victorian Blind Cricket Association in Melbourne where he has a highest score of 32.
The Bendigo Senior Secondary College Year 11 student will play as a top-order batsman in the Australian squad.
“I’m looking forward to playing cricket in a country where I’ve never been before,” said Sheehan, one of the youngest players in the Australian squad.
“To go and have that experience as a 17-year-old will be great for my confidence.”
