Western Australia has named three significant inclusions for its One-Day Cup (ODC) clash with Tasmania at the WACA Ground tomorrow, welcoming Aaron Hardie, Lance Morris and Joel Paris into the fold.

Hardie is in line to play his first ODC match of 2024-25, having returned from a quad injury during WA’s Sheffield Shield win over the Tigers this week.

The hard-hitting allrounder is building towards the upcoming three-match One-Day International series between Australia and Pakistan next month, likewise WA teammates Cooper Connolly and Josh Inglis.

Nationally contracted fast bowler Morris took 3-42 against South Australia in Sydney before his campaign was briefly halted by a quad complaint.

Skillful left-armer Paris (hamstring), who has not yet featured this season, starred with 4-21 from nine overs as WA triumphed over NSW to win the 2023-24 ODC title.

The trio forms a strong pace attack that also includes star quick Jhye Richardson and promising swing bowler Bryce Jackson.

Allrounders Ashton Agar, D’Arcy Short and Connolly are the primary spin-bowling options, with gloveman Inglis and batters Ashton Turner, Cameron Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright rounding out the 12-player squad.

Sam Whiteman is unavailable with a minor quad injury, while pace bowlers Andrew Tye and Mahli Beardman have been omitted. 

WA currently sits fourth on the ODC ladder, toppling Queensland in their last encounter after close losses to New South Wales and South Australia.

Tomorrow’s match starts at 10AM, local time, and will be broadcast live on Kayo and Cricket.com.au.
