Henriques returns to New South Wales squad

New South Wales have recalled Doug Bollinger and Moises Henriques for their must-win Ford Ranger Cup match against Tasmania at Sydney's Telstra Stadium on Wednesday. The Blues, who have lost their last three one-day games, are in fourth place on the table but with only two matches remaining they would need a remarkable stroke of luck to reach the final.

Matthew Nicholson was left out of the side to take on Tasmania but the other change was a forced one with Nathan Bracken unavailable due to his commitments with the Australia team. Greg Mail, the opening batsman, has found his way back into the Pura Cup squad to take on the Tigers at the SCG starting on Saturday.

Mail, who has taken Aaron O'Brien's place in the 12-man line-up, began the first-class season poorly with 97 runs from six innings before thrusting his name back in front of the selectors with 374 runs in Sydney grade cricket within eight days. The Blues are also struggling in the four-day competition, sitting fifth on the table with only two wins from six games.
