The return of Nathan Hauritz is one of a number of changes for the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues for their Ryobi Cup match with Western Australia starting at the SCG tomorrow. Hauritz, whose last game for New South Wales was the Champions League match against the Cape Cobras in Chennai on September 24, returns from shoulder, and more recently calf, injuries.
In other changes from the Ryobi Cup team that lost to Queensland at the Gabba nine days ago:
Phil Jaques, Trent Copeland and Timm Van Der Gugten come into the team, alongside Hauritz. They will replace Moises Henriques (side strain), Stephen O’Keefe (split webbing), Mitchell Starc (Australian squad) and Josh Hazlewood (rested).
Brett Lee was not considered as he had not been able to prove his fitness to selectors by bowling in a competitive match before the squad was named.
The full squad is:
Ben Rohrer ( Captain )
Trent Copeland
Tim Cruickshank
Nathan Hauritz
Phil Jaques
Simon Katich
