The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) today announced a 12-man West End Redbacks squad to take on the Tasmanian Tigers in this Saturday's ING Cup game at Bellerive Oval.
The squad sees just one change from the team which played in Perth last Friday, with 19-year-old Mark Cosgrove coming in to the side for injured Mick Miller.
Miller strained his shoulder while bowling during the Pura Cup win against the Western Warriors last week in Perth, and will be unavailable for one to two weeks.
Cosgrove, who made his debut for the Redbacks as a rookie in 2002-03, was a member of the winning 2002 Under-19 Australian World Championship team and is a 2003 Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy scholar.
The left-handed batsman from Northern Districts also won the Man-of-the-Match award for his 100 not out in the Prime Minister's XI v ATSIC Chairman's XI game at Adelaide Oval earlier this year.
The Redbacks team is:
| Greg Blewett (c) | Andy Flower |
| Mark Cleary | Mark Higgs |
| Mark Cosgrove | Ben Johnson |
| John Davison | Graham Manou |
| Shane Deitz | Paul Rofe |
| Callum Ferguson | Shaun Tait |
The Redbacks squad is this week in Melbourne playing practice matches against the Victorian Bushrangers, and will arrive into Hobart this Thursday, October 30.
The Redbacks also will play a Pura Cup game against Tasmania from Monday, November 3 to Thursday, November 6 in Hobart. The squad for that game will be announced later this week.
