The Burras have been drawn in Pool B alongside hosts Spain, the Netherlands and India for the tournament which will run from June 10-16 and also involve Germany, Great Britain, Belgium and Austria.
The 20-year old who won a second Butch Southwell Medal last year as the player of the Tamworth men's first grade grand final was part of the Burras side that won the Sultan Johor Cup two years ago, and suited up for them again at last year's tournament.
The 18-strong team for the Madrid tournament departs Australia on June 4, and have three days of preparation over there ahead of their tournament opener against India.
