SA Announces 13-Man Squad for One-Day Cup Clash with NSW

South Australia has announced a 13-man squad to compete against New South Wales in the One-Day Cup. The much-anticipated match is scheduled for February 10 at Cricket Central in Sydney. This encounter marks a pivotal moment as the One-Day Cup returns, promising an exciting showcase of cricket.

Squad Changes and Highlights

The South Australian team features four significant changes from their previous outing in mid-November. Notably, Ashes star Alex Carey makes a return to the one-day squad. Other inclusions are Hanno Jacobs and potential debutants Campbell Thompson and Jerrssis Wadia, who impressed during the previous season with the Adelaide Strikers.

Key Players

  • Nathan McSweeney: Captaining the side, he recently scored 49 runs in his last match.
  • Alex Carey: Returns to bolster the batting lineup.
  • Jerrssis Wadia: Showed promise in the last season, earning his place in the squad.

Injury and Management Updates

Brendan Doggett is ruled out due to injury, while Nathan McAndrew is being managed carefully to maintain his fitness. These changes reflect the team’s strategic decisions as they aim for success in the tournament.

Recent Performance and Goals

In their last One-Day Cup encounter, South Australia struggled to defend their score against Tasmania, ultimately losing the match by four wickets. Despite that setback, McSweeney’s leadership will be crucial as South Australia seeks to secure maximum points to improve their mid-table standing and compete for the championship title.
