Cornish will be joined in the side by fullback Jack Ahearn, prop Mark Nicholls and second-rower Jake Foster for the match at Suncorp Stadium.
The game is a curtain-raiser to the third State of Origin match.
Cornish, 21, made his NRL debut off the bench in the round-11 match against North Queensland and played three games before returning to the NSW Cup.
He has been a standout for Mounties in the NSW Cup and is signed with the Raiders until the end of next season.
The quartet will go up against Raiders teammate Kurt Baptise, with the hooker winning selection in the Queensland Residents after strong form for Canberra's other feeder club, Souths Logan Magpies, in the Queensland Cup.
Meanwhile, Raiders winger Sami Sauiluma will make his return from an eye injury for Mounties in Saturday's NSW Cup match against the Bulldogs.
Sauiluma will be looking to press his claims for a spot in the first-grade side, which has the bye this weekend.
Raiders second-rower Joel Edwards has also be named for Mounties to build on his match fitness.
