The cricketer will be competing in a full week of action with the tournament beginning on Monday March 6 and concluding on Friday March 10.
Korn is a wicket keeper and he will be focusing on showing his talents with the gloves.
“I will concentrate on impressing with my wicket keeping and be technically sound behind the stumps,” Korn said.
“I hope to score some runs when the opportunity presents itself and prove I am a versatile player.”
Korn set the goal of achieving CHS selection at the beginning of the 2016/17 cricket season but was surprised to be picked for the squad.
The 15-year-old credits the hard work and hours spent training over the past year.
Korn is one of the youngest players in the squad and will be eligible for selection in the team for the next two years and believes it is a great opportunity to cement himself in the side.
The year 10 student will take part in four one day games which will be 50 overs and one twenty20 match.
He will bat at number 6 and proved his worth for Rovers this season as he ticked over a century.
