All the Sheffield Shield squads for round four

South Australia v NSW, Karen Rolton Oval, 14-17 November

SA squad: Ben Manenti (c), Harry Conway, Brendan Doggett, Daniel Drew, Henry Hunt, Thomas Kelly, Jake Lehmann, Harry Nielsen, Nathan McAndrew, Conor McInerney, Lloyd Pope, Henry Thornton

 

Ins: Nathan McAndrew, Brendan Doggett, Harry Neilsen.

 

Outs: Alex Carey (Australia) Jason Sangha, Liam Scott

With Test squad members Alex Carey, Travis Head and Nathan McSweeney all preparing for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Ben Manenti will lead his adopted state for the first time. 

The allrounder is in brilliant touch, proving instrumental in SA's win over Victoria last week. 

Nathan McAndrew and Brendan Doggett return from Australia A duty, where both put in impressive shifts in their respective matches against India A. Harry Neilsen will also return to the XI due to Carey's absence. 

NSW squad: Jack Edwards (c), Jackson Bird, Ollie Davies, Matt Gilkes, Chris Green, Ryan Hadley, Sam Konstas, Nic Maddinson, Jack Nisbet, Kurtis Patterson, Tanveer Sangha, Lachlan Shaw.

 

Ins: Sam Konstas, Josh Philippe, Jack Nisbet.

 

Outs: Moises Henriques (groin), Josh Hazlewood (Australia), Blake Nikitaras

Sam Konstas will return to the Sheffield Shield after his late tilt at a Test spot failed, but the Blues have suffered a setback with captain Moises Henriques ruled out.

Henriques will hand the reins over to Jack Edwards in Adelaide due to a groin injury, leaving Edwards (NSW's current 50-over skipper) to become the state's 119th first-class captain.

Josh Philippe's late call-up to Australia's T20 squad has meant Matthew Gilkes, initially left out of the squad, has retained his spot, while uncapped keeper-bat Lachlan Shaw is also in the squad.

Blake Nikitaras makes way for Konstas while Josh Hazlewood also drops out due to Test duties. Konstas returns after playing for Australia A against India A, making scores of 0, 16, 3 and 73no.

Victoria v Western Australia, Junction Oval, 15-18 November

Victoria squad: Peter Handscomb, Ash Chandrasinghe, Xavier Crone, Sam Elliott, Sam Harper, Marcus Harris, Campbell Kellaway, Jon Merlo, Todd Murphy, Fergus O’Neill, Mitch Perry, Tom Rogers, Peter Siddle 

 

Ins: Marcus Harris, Todd Murphy, Fergus O’Neill, Xavier Crone.

 

Outs: Will Sutherland (side strain), Dylan Brasher, Doug Warren

The Vics will be bolstered with the return of Marcus Harris, Todd Murphy and Fergus O’Neill from Australia A duties, but have lost skipper Will Sutherland.

Murphy comes into the extended side off the back of a solid One-Day Cup outing at the MCG on Wednesday where he took 4-27 in a win over WA.

Sutherland has a side strain, leaving Peter Handscomb to take over as captain. Doug Warren makes way for Murphy while Dylan Brasher drops out of the squad after carrying the drinks in their defeat to South Australia.

Scott Boland heads into the Australia camp for Border-Gavaskar Trophy series preparations.

Western Australia squad:  Ashton Turner (c), Ashton Agar, Cameron Bancroft, Mahli Beardman, Hilton Cartwright, Brody Couch, Keaton Critchell, Joel Curtis, Sam Fanning, Cameron Gannon, Jayden Goodwin, Joel Paris, Corey Rocchiccioli

 

In: Cameron Bancroft, Keaton Critchell, Corey Rocchiccioli.

 

Out: Matt Kelly (quad), Sam Whiteman (side strain), Teague Wyllie (omitted)

Young fast bowler Mahli Beardman and allrounder Keaton Critchell will be on first-class debut if selected in the starting side.

Skipper Sam Whiteman is out of the side to recover from a side strain he suffered at training in the lead up to WA’s last Shield game against Tasmania.

Matt Kelly is also out with a quad injury he suffered early in the Bellerive Oval match, which WA won by an innings.

Queensland v Tasmania, Allan Border Field, 15-18 November

Queensland squad: Mitchell Swepson (c), Jack Clayton, Liam Guthrie, Lachlan Hearne, Angus Lovell, Ben McDermott, Jimmy Peirson, Matthew Renshaw, Mark Steketee, Tom Straker, Bryce Street, Tom Whitney

 

Ins: Bryce Street, Tom Whitney, Mark Steketee.

 

Outs: Beni Floros (heel), Jack Sinfield, Jack Wildermuth

Bryce Street has been brought into the squad following strong form in Queensland Premier Cricket where he has scored back-to-back centuries for University of Queensland.

Paceman Tom Whitney, who took eight wickets in his maiden Shield match, returns to the squad after recovering from a bruised heel. Fellow quick Mark Steketee also comes into the line-up after overcoming an ankle injury.

Michael Neser is out due to a hamstring injury which is expected to keep him out of action for at least another month. James Bazley (side strain) and Benji Floros (heel) are also missing due to injuries.

Xavier Bartlett, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne are on international duties.

Tasmania squad: Jordan Silk (c), Jake Doran, Kieran Elliott, Brad Hope, Caleb Jewell, Matt Kuhnemann, Riley Meredith, Lawrence Neil-Smith, Mitch Owen, Charlie Wakim, Tim Ward, Jake Weatherald, Beau Webster

 

Ins: Beau Webster, Tim Ward.

 

Outs: Gabe Bell (birth of first child)

Beau Webster returns to the Tasmania squad in a big boost after being away for Australia A duties.

Tim Ward also earns a spot after some strong performances in the Cricket Tasmania Premier League for University CC.

Quick bowler Gabe Bell will miss due to the birth of his first child earlier this week.

Iain Carlisle, Nick Davis, Will Prestwidge and Mac Wright are all working towards a return after injuries delayed the start to their domestic cricket seasons. 

Nathan Ellis is away on national duties with Australia in the T20I Series against Pakistan.
