Western Warriors name Sheffield Shield squad


The Western Warriors today announce two changes to their squad ahead of the Round 10 JLT Sheffield Shield match against Queensland at the WACA Ground starting tomorrow.

Up and coming bowlers Lance Morris and Josh Nicholas have been added to the 14 player squad, with fellow paceman David Moody out of the side with back soreness.

WA remain a chance to make the Sheffield Shield final following last week’s crucial 51 run victory over Tasmania in Hobart.

It’s been two decades since WA last claimed the Sheffield Shield.

The Warriors hopes of securing a 16th Shield title will continue beyond this week if they beat the Bulls at home, and New South Wales draw or lose to Tasmania in Hobart.
