The National Selection Panel (NSP) has named an Australia A squad to play the England Lions in a four-day tour match later this month.
Australia A: Jack Edwards (NSW/Manly Warringah Cricket Club) (c) Xavier Bartlett (QLD/Gold Coast District Cricket Club) Brendan Doggett (SA/Glenelg Cricket Club) Jordan Buckingham (SA/West Torrens Cricket Club) Jayden Goodwin (WA/Subiaco Floreat Cricket Club) Aaron Hardie (WA/Willetton Cricket Club) Fergus O’Neill (VIC/Melbourne Cricket Club) Kurtis Patterson (NSW/St George Cricket Club) Josh Philippe (NSW/Western Districts Cricket Club) Corey Rocchiccioli (WA/University Cricket Club) Will Sutherland (VIC/Prahran Cricket Club) Tim Ward (TAS/University of Tasmania Cricket Club)
National selector Tony Dodemaide said:
“Following two Australia A fixtures against India A earlier this season which had short-term relevance to the Border Gavaskar Trophy, this match is a valuable opportunity to expose exciting young talent against quality international opposition with a longer lens.
“We expect a highly competitive contest against a Lions team who will be keen to stake their individual claims for selection in next summer’s Ashes tour of Australia.”
Australia A plays the Lions at Cricket Central from January 30-February 2.
