They are Brendan Mays, Richard Sowter and Beau Reed.
Last Man Stands cricket is a modified form of the game played by teams of eight.
Mays will be playing for one of the event favourites, Wollongong Rock Lobsters. He was named bowler of the tournament at an event in Wollongong last year.
Reed, who captained Wingham's premiership-winning fourth grade side in last season's Manning District cricket competition, will join Sowter in the Argie Bargies. The majority of team members are from Sydney.
"We were hoping to qualify local side Wild Aces,'' Sowter said.
"But unfortunately because of the coronavirus restrictions a number of qualifying games were cancelled.''
Organisers will have to wait until the Queensland borders are reopened to decide on a date for the event.
