A team of Indigenous cricketers is set to retrace the steps of the first Australian cricket team to tour England.

The side has assembled in Brisbane for four days of training at Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence, before flying to London on Saturday.

Cricket Australia's Neil Price says the Indigenous touring party of 2009 will play at many of the venues used on the first tour in 1868.

"One of those is a place called Bat and Ball in Hambledon where apparently the boys of 1868 played a bit of a scratch match with the locals.

"And they did some spear throwing and some boomerang stuff and all that over there with the guys and enjoyed the hospitality of the local township.

"So it will be really fantastic for the boys to go over that history."

It is the first Indigenous squad assembled by Cricket Australia since 1988 to follow the original team's journey.
