The St Patrick’s College student, who complements his batting with right-arm off spin bowling, is the only bottom-age player in the squad.
Doherty was selected after representing Central Highlands under-14s.
He will join the state team in Queensland on Saturday, which means he will miss playing with the Two Swords in the Ballarat Cricket Association under-14 firsts and fourths grand finals this weekend.
Central Highlands regional manager Campbell Waring is Vic Country assistant coach for the week-long championship from Sunday.
