The NSW Blues will be bolstered by the return of Shane Watson for their must-win Elimination Final against Queensland at Blacktown International Sportspark tomorrow.
Watson, who returned to action for Sutherland in the McDonalds Grade competition last Sunday, will provide much needed depth to a Blues squad that has lost its last two games and now needs to put in a big performance this Friday.
Watson will take the place of batsman Scott Henry in a 13 man squad, with spinner Patrick Jackson retained.
The final starting eleven will be decided on the day.
The squad is :
Peter NEVILL (Captain)
Sean ABBOTT
Doug BOLLINGER
Ryan CARTERS
Patrick CUMMINS
Christopher GREEN
Josh HAZLEWOOD
Patrick JACKSON
Nicolas MADDINSON
Kurtis PATTERSON
Benjamin ROHRER
Gurinder SANDHU
Shane WATSON
