Queensland has welcomed back Australian ODI World Cup player Marnus Labuschagne for his initial One Day Cup game of the season for the Bulls.
Labuschagne will captain the Queensland limited overs squad named today to play Western Australia at the WACA tomorrow.
The Bulls captain missed Queensland’s opening two One Day Cup games while on Australian duties with Mitch Swepson leading the team in his absence.
He replaces Max Bryant in the only change to the 13-man Bulls squad that opened the One Day Cup two weeks ago with a washout against Tasmania and six-run loss to Victoria.
Bryant will captain the Queensland 2nd XI in Melbourne starting on Monday.
WA are the defending One Day Cup titleholders. Queensland have had a no-result and a loss from their opening games.
The match will be streamed live on Kayo and cricket.com.au

Meanwhile Queensland’s latest graduate from the World Cup winning Australian Under-19 team will take his next steps next week.
Wests allrounder Tom Campbell will play for the Queensland 2nd XI against Victoria in Melbourne in the Toyota National 2nd XI competition starting on Monday.
It will be his initial appearance in the Queensland 2nd XI, where he will play alongside his national Under-19 teammate Lachy Aitken.
Their World Cup squad teammates Callum Vidler and Tom Straker have both made their first-class debuts since Australia’s win in South Africa at the start of the year.
Valley paceman Benji Floros, who has also played 2nd XI for the ACT, and Souths left-arm spinner Zanden Jeh will also play their first game at this level this season.
Players not available for selection as they complete injury management plans include Hugh Weibgen (finger), Gurinder Sandhu (calf), Jem Ryan (hamstring) and Xavier Bartlett (side strain).
