INJURED batsman Shaun Marsh has been named in the last of this year’s Matador Cup squads to be unveiled.

Western Australia is set to unleash an experienced line-up on this year’s tournament, with captain Adam Voges to receive support from the likes of veteran batsman Michael Klinger, paceman Nathan Rimmington and, eventually, Marsh.

The left-hander didn’t travel with Australia’s one-day team to South Africa due to a fractured finger but is expected to return for the second half of the Warriors’ Matador Cup campaign.

Also returning from injury is left-arm quick Jason Behrendorff, who has had a frustrating eight months out with a back injury.

“It’s great to see Jason back in the squad after a long time out,” WA coach Justin Langer said.

“He’s a consummate professional with his rehab and has been diligent throughout so we’re confident he can return to his best during the Matador Cup.

“We’re happy with the squad as a whole, with a few players coming back from injury with only Nathan Coulter-Nile (back) and Mitchell Marsh (Australia duty) unavailable.”

Mercurial spinner Ashton Agar will join Shaun Marsh on the sidelines for the Warriors’ first few games, with Langer hinting WA could apply to Cricket Australia to be able to pick injury replacement players until the injured duo is fit to play.

CRICKET AUSTRALIA XI

Former Australia batsman Brad Hodge has been named as coach of the Cricket Australia XI, which for the second year running will feature in the Matador Cup.

Hodge, who is yet to retire as a player, faces a tough task as he leads a ragtag group of promising players from around the country against the best the states have to offer.

The CA XI will be captained by Western Australia’s Will Bosisto, a spin-bowling all-rounder who at 23 is one of the oldest players in the squad.

Fellow Warriors player Jhye Richardson will look to pick up where he left off last year, when he made an impression on then-teammate Mitchell Johnson during the 2015 Matador Cup.

Victorian duo Matthew Short and Sam Harper, and New South Wales spin sensation Arjun Nair are some of the other players in the squad with top-level experience, albeit not much of it.

“This is a great opportunity for these emerging players to test their skills and develop their cricket by competing at domestic level,” Cricket Australia’s national talent manager Greg Chappell said.

“The squad contains a number of players who have already played domestic cricket. Hopefully this opportunity will allow these players to push for further selection within states or at the national level.”

Hodge will be assisted by former Australia and England bowling coach Troy Cooley, who has already worked with many of the CA XI players in his role as head coach at CA’s National Cricket Centre in Brisbane.

VICTORIA BUSHRANGERS

Victoria has named want-away star Glenn Maxwell in a Matador Cup squad that will be led by a new captain.

Maxwell made unwanted headlines last week after it was revealed that he had launched a last-minute bid to switch states to New South Wales, only to have the move blocked by Cricket Victoria.

Despite that he was named in the 14-man squad unveiled by the Bushrangers on Wednesday.

Peter Handscomb, rather than former captain Cameron White, steps into the captaincy in the absence of regular skipper Matthew Wade, who is one of four players away on international duty.

The Vics are also without the services of Test bowlers James Pattinson and Peter Siddle as both men recover from injuries sustained earlier this year.

“It’s another great opportunity for Peter to lead a team in a big tournament,” chairman of selectors Andrew Lynch said. “His experience captaining the Australia A side has been invaluable and I know he’s looking forward to the next month.”

Victoria’s spin stocks have been boosted by the arrival of former Western Austarlia tweaker Michael Beer, who joins recent Test bowler Jon Holland and leggie Fawad Ahmed.

“To have those three as well as part-timers Maxwell and White is incredibly beneficial, and leaves us with plenty of options next month.”

TASMANIA TIGERS

There is a very Queensland feel to the Tasmania squad named for this year’s Matador Cup.

On Wednesday the Tigers named a 14-man group that won’t feature their two best one-day players - veteran George Bailey, who is away on national duty, and all-rounder James Faulkner, who is injured.

The new-look squad is headlined by gun leg-spinning recruit Cameron Boyce, who is one of three former Bulls players alongside Ben McDermott (son of fast bowling legend Craig) and Simon Milenko.

Wicketkeeper Tim Paine will captain the squad, with Xavier Doherty his deputy.

“We have selected a squad with a really good mix of youth and experience and we are looking forward to seeing the start of our debutants journeys with the Tasmanian Tigers,” head coach Dan Marsh said.

“If everyone in the 14-man squad plays their role then we can expect a really successful Matador Cup.”

There is a fair bit of international firepower in the Tigers squad, with Doherty, Boyce, Alex Doolan, Jackson Bird and Ben Dunk all playing for the national team in recent years.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA REDBACKS

South Australia has sprung a selection surprise leaving Chadd Sayers out of its Matador One-Day Cup squad.

Although Sayers did not play a Matador Cup match for the state last year, his omission is still unexpected considering the Redbacks will be without both Joe Mennie and Dan Worrall for the tournament. Both are away on national duty in South Africa, alongside Travis Head and Adam Zampa.

Callum Ferguson has been named South Australia’s captain in the absence of Head. Ferguson missed the second half of last summer’s Sheffield Shield season after suffering a torn ACL in his left leg that saw him undergo a knee reconstruction but is expected to be fit for the start of the one-day tournament.

He will lead a young squad into the tournament, with five potential List A debutants in the group — Wes Agar, Nick Benton, Michael Cormack, Cameron Valente and Jake Weatherald.

Fast-bowling Wes Agar is the younger brother of Western Australia’s Ashton Agar and has been handed a rookie contract for the season.

NEW SOUTH WALES BLUES

New South Wales has named a powerful squad, minus star paceman Mitchell Starc, for next month’s Matador One-Day Cup.

The Blues are the defending champions and will be confident of taking out the title again this year after unveiling a 14-man group that includes eight players with international experience.

Fast bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins weren’t named in the official squad but will be available for certain games throughout the tournament as Hazlewood returns from a post-Sri Lanka rest, and Cummins makes another long-awaited comeback from injury.

However Hazlewood’s partner in crime in the Test team, Mitchell Starc, isn’t in the Blues’ limited overs plans this year.

The big left-armer was rested from the upcoming one-day tour of South Africa and would presumably have followed a similar pattern to Hazlewood, before a freak training accident last week scuppered those plans.

Starc had to be taken to hospital to receive 30 stitches after suffering a deep cut to his knee. His focus now is simply on being fit in time for the first home Test of the summer, against South Africa in early November.

“Our experience is very much in our batting and we will be relying heavily on those guys,” NSW coach Trent Johnston said.

“However our bowling has also stood up during past Matador Cup campaigns, with players like Doug Bollinger and Gurinder Sandhu performing well in the one-day format. And we have a good variety of spinners, with Nathan Lyon and Steve O’Keefe both internationals.”

QUEENSLAND BULLS

All-rounder Jason Floros will lead a Queensland side that includes Australian representatives Joe Burns and Chris Lynn for next month’s domestic one-day Cup.

Floros, 25, will skipper the Bulls for the first time in the tournament, with regular captain Usman Khawaja away in South Africa for the ODI series.

However Canberra-born Floros has been named to lead the side that also includes the likes of Burns, Lynn and former Australian representative Ben Cutting.

“Flo (Floros) captained the boys well on a few occasions during the pre-season,” new coach Phil Jacques said.

“(He) has done some good things in the past in that role for the Queensland Academy of Sport in the Futures League and for Wynnum-Manly in the Premier competition.

“We’re pretty comfortable giving him this responsibility and opportunity.”

Floros missed last year’s tournament through injury, but has scored 217 runs in 19 limited-overs matches for Queensland, and taken 13 wickets at an average of 26.61.

Burns, meanwhile, will aim to impress selectors ahead of the opening Test against South Africa in Perth, after being dropped for the final match of the Sri Lankan series.

Lynn will also return after dislocating his shoulder in a training drill in Sri Lanka this month.
