West End Redbacks’ selectors will take a 13-man squad to Perth for the Bupa Sheffield Shield match against the Warriors starting Monday.
Phil Hughes comes back into the squad, returning from Australia A duties while Nathan Lyon is in Brisbane with the Australian Test team.
The only other change is fast bowler, Jake Haberfield coming into the squad to widen the pace options for the WACA wicket.
Speaking on Thursday at Adelaide Oval, Redbacks captain Johan Botha emphasised the need for the group to carry their confidence and winning form into the trip to Perth.
“One win doesn’t make us feel like that’s it for the summer, we want to continue what we’ve been doing and keep improving,” he said.
“We’ve only really beaten Tasmania twice in 18 games so we want to start doing it against other teams. That’s our focus, to compete against all teams all around Australia, all the time.
“We’ve done it for two weeks now and we’d like to do it for a third week down in Perth.”
