AUSTRALIA A FOUR DAY TOUR MATCH SQUAD ANNOUNCED
“We have announced a fourteen-player squad for the Australia A Four Day Tour of England starting on July 7,” Hohns said.
“The tour will see Australia A play three four-day tour matches in the build up to the Ashes Tour of England, providing the players with a good opportunity to push their case for selection.
“We have Joe Burns, Cameron Bancroft, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Renshaw, Peter Siddle and Daniel Worrall in our sights but they have not been included in the squad and will continue to play through this period with their County teams.
“However, we have made it clear that strong form with their County teams will be taken into account for selection in the Ashes squad or the Australia v Australia A tour match.
“Following the four-day tour match in Hampshire we will be in a position to announce our squad for the Ashes.”
