PRO PATH: Chris Sabburg bats during last year's T20 Challenge on the way to earning a Brisbane Heat contract. Contributed A HOST of Toowoomba cricketers will be hoping to be the next Chris Sabburg.
A year ago former Gatton cricket Sabburg was one of many country and Brisbane Grade cricketers pushing for just one contract with the Brisbane Heat in the T20 Challenge.
He played and impressed in the short Twenty20 competition where Sabburg was eventually awarded a Heat contract for the Big Bash League.
The former University player went on to play in the Heat's BBL grand final win and is currently in India with the Brisbane squad at the lucrative Champions League T20 tournament.
The chance to follow the same path as Sabburg is now one plenty of country and Brisbane Grade players want to take this season.
Toowoomba players could get the chance as the T20 Challenge is scheduled to start next Sunday in Brisbane.
TCI stars could find themselves in the Country Infernos team which will take on Northern Flames, Western Burners and Southern Blaze in a three-game round-robin competition.
Teams will play on October 13 and 27 as well as November 10 before the final Heat contract and two rookie contracts will be awarded.
