| (Cricket news) Agar will make his first appearance in WA colours since last season’s Marsh One-Day Cup Final at the WACA Ground, where he produced career-best figures of 5-64 as WA defeated South Australia by 181 runs to win their second consecutive ODC title. Behrendorff returns to the fold after missing WA’s last ODC fixture against South Australia in November due to international commitments. Sam Fanning and Cameron Gannon have been named in the 13-player squad, with Fanning to make his ODC debut if selected in the final XI. The classy left-hander has been a standout for Perth in WA Premier Cricket so far this summer, and impressed on debut for Perth Scorchers in the KFC Big Bash League Knockout Final against Adelaide Strikers earlier this month. Allrounder Cooper Connolly suffered a left quad strain during WA’s recent Second XI match against Queensland, with a timeframe for his return still to be determined. Spinner Hamish McKenzie (lower back stress injury), star quick Jhye Richardson (side strain) and promising right-armer Mahli Beardman (U19 World Cup) are also unavailable for selection. State-contracted players Cameron Green, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis and Lance Morris feature in Australia’s squad for the upcoming Dettol ODI Series against West Indies, which begins at the MCG on Friday. WA are equal-first on the Marsh One-Day Cup standings with four wins from five matches. |
