Cassell returns to Pura Cup team

Opener Jerry Cassell has been recalled to the XXXX Queensland Bulls team for the Pura Cup match against Tasmania in Hobart next week.

Cassell, who was ruled out of the Bulls team that played against the Tigers at the Gabba last month due to illness, will link with the remainder of the Queensland players in Hobart on Monday, following the ING Cup match on Sunday at Bellerive Oval.
