AUSTRALIA NAMES EDWARDS TO LEAD 12-MAN SQUAD IN FOUR-GAME SERIES IN SYDNEY

Australia names Edwards to lead its 12-man squad in the four-game series against the Lions in Sydney.

Furthermore, the 24-year-old all-rounder hopes to guide a youthful Australia A team whose lineup is composed of new faces.

Moreover, selectors only retained five faces from the squad that battled India A in two four-day games in October and November.

Edwards is expected to lend his experience playing for Australia in the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in December 2017.

He made his first-class debut for New South Wales in the 2018-19 Sheffield Shield season on October 16, 2018.

SUTHERLAND, HARDIE JOIN YOUTHFUL AUSTRALIA A SQUAD

Moreover, Will Sutherland and Aaron Hardie will join Edwards in the youthful squad.

Furthermore, the two fast-bowling allrounders are also being counted upon to share their experience to boost Australia A’s chances.

Sutherland is the only full-time Shield captain who was included in the squad.

Hardie will be the only Australia A member who was part of the country’s Champions Trophy squad.

He is currently recovering from a quad issue, as he only played one first-class match this summer.

BUCKINGHAM, O’NEILL, PHILIPPE GET ANOTHER SHOT FOR AUSTRALIA A

Furthermore, Jordan Buckingham, Fergus O’Neill, and Joseph Philippe join two others to the team.

Moreover, they form part of the remnants from the India A series last year.

Moreover, Corey Rocchiccioli and Brendan Doggett round out the five holdovers retained by the selectors.

However, Doggett was only added to the team as a late injury replacement.

Meanwhile, selectors found no room for Marcus Harris, Jimmy Peirson, or Nathan McAndrew, who played well in Australia A’s second game in Melbourne.
