The Dunedin boy wants to follow in the footsteps of his uncle, former Otago Volts bowler Bradley Scott - now playing for Northern Districts - and make his mark on the University Oval cricket ground.
In fact, he wants to go one step further and emulate his favourite player - Black Caps wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum.
Noah had his chance to start pursuing the dream yesterday, as he and more than 100 other primary school-aged children rubbed shoulders with Black Caps players while practising their skills at the National Bank Super Camp in Dunedin.
In between batting, bowling and fielding drills, Noah told the Otago Daily Times he was at the event to "have fun" while learning from the top players.
That meant "learning to do some more shots and learning to bowl straight", he said.
Yesterday's event, held at the University Oval No 2 ground, attracted between 300 and 400 young players and up-and-coming coaches.
It was one of a series of clinics being staged before each international match in February and March, involving leading players and former Black Caps player-turned-cricketing ambassador Chris Harris.
Youngsters attending yesterday's event received pointers - and autographs - from Black Caps players Martin Guptill, Tim Southee and Peter Ingram and newly appointed Black Caps coach Mark Greatbatch.
The session was held before today's first-ever one-day international at the University Oval ground and the return of 50-over international cricket to Dunedin for the first time since the Black Caps played South Africa at Carisbrook in 2004.
Bangladesh team members spent time practising next to the youngsters yesterday.
Greatbatch believed it was important for young players to connect with international stars.
"It's what it's all about. We were all kids, weren't we?"
Following some rain yesterday, the MetService was forecasting a high of 19degC in Dunedin today.
