Khawaja, Hughes all set to make debuts – Cricket News Update
Once teammates at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Australia-c844 taking on Queensland from October 1, at Gabba.
Both men struggled for consistency in the latter parts of their stints with New South Wales after being axed from the national team duties. They were further left out from the trimmed contracted list of national players, and moved to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the Australian off-season in a bid to find some form.
After changing their states team, Khawaja and Hughes now find themselves as foes, coming up against each other as early as the opening match of their respective campaigns, where they will be looking to impress their newest bosses.
Both sides have named their squads (12-man) for the opener, with both left-handers making the line-up. South Australia has named http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 with the South African national team.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Darren-Shane-Berry-c52490, the Redbacks coach, also indicated the possibility of including other debutants in all-rounder, Sam Miller, and fast bowler, Daniel Worrall.
“When we were up in Darwin, Miller was playing the off-season up there so myself and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jeffrey-Mark-Vaughan-c66801 went and watched him play and we were so impressed with what we saw, we invited him to join us for what was the last month of preparation,” he said.
“Worrall is a nippy fast-bowler with a bit of an old fashioned, angled approach to the wicket. He's a very aggressive type of player. Throughout the pre-season he's been a standout bowler in the group."
As for Queensland, Khawaja is almost certain to make the playing XI and could team up with another NSW recruit in Nathan Hauritz. Hauritz also moved interstate in a bid to kick-start his career, after a series of injuries. His confrontation with Lyon, the man who replaced him as the specialist spinner in the national team, could turn out to be an intriguing one.
