The first series is hosted by Lee Furlong. Former Australian captain Allan Border is the chief judge and Graham Manou is the mentor. It was filmed in Brisbane and featured guest appearances by current and former players including Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting.

The final squad of 15 players was selected from 60 finalists, from over 1000 applicants. The prize for the winner is a rookie contract with their state association for the 2012/13 season and a four-month scholarship at the Cricket Centre of Excellence in Brisbane.
