Hobart Hurricanes’ Ben McDermott and Josh Philippe of Sydney Sixers are the frontline players of a 14-man squad that will play six white-ball games in India later this month and train alongside legendary fast bowler Glenn McGrath, who is also the director of the MRF Pace Foundation.
Besides McDermott and Philippe, who enjoyed breakout seasons at the domestic level last summer, the squad will include leg-spinners Lloyd Pope (from South Australia) and Daniel Fallins (from New South Wales) as well was Western Australia wicketkeeper-batsman, Josh Inglis.
“Australian Cricket has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the MRF Foundation for 26 years and we value the chance to take some of our young players to India to give them the chance to stretch themselves under match conditions,” CA Pathways Manager Graham Manou was quoted saying by cricket.com.au.
“The pace bowlers will also have the opportunity to interact with Glenn who has a wealth of knowledge about bowling and can certainly assist them to expand their skills. The squad has a nice blend of youth and some more experienced members, so the coaching staff of Chris Rogers and Craig Howard will have plenty of options to work with,” he added.
Squad: Tom Andrews (SA), Oliver Davies (NSW), Dan Fallins (NSW), Jake Fraser-McGurk (Vic), Cameron Green (WA), Ryan Hadley (NSW), Aaron Hardie (WA), Lachlan Hearne (NSW), Josh Inglis (WA), Ben McDermott (Tas), Jonathon Merlo (Vic), Todd Murphy (Vic), Josh Philippe (WA), Lloyd Pope (SA)
