The ‘legends’ team will also include Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath, West Indies’ great Brian Lara, New Zealand’s hard-hitting Craig McMillan, Indian spin wizard Anil Kumble and former England wicketkeeper Geraint Jones.
The team will be managed by the Western Australian Cricket Association’s high-performance manager, Doug Harris.
NSW all-rounder Aaron O’Brien is the most experienced member of the seven-strong side that features Queensland’s Michael Buchanan, son of former national coach John Buchanan.
The squad is loaded with young all-rounders, with just Tasmania’s Alex Doolan, 21, not to have played senior cricket for his state yet.
The Australians will rely heavily on O’Brien, 26, who is easily the most experienced member with 20 first-class games to his name. O’Brien is a left-arm orthodox spinner and middle-order batsman for the Blues.
Buchanan, a one-day specialist for Queensland, and Bulls and Sixes team-mate, Nathan Reardon, will be kept on their toes. – Own Correspondent
