Fast bowler added to Redback squad

South Australian selectors have added young fast bowler Paul Rofe to the Mercantile Mutual Cup squad which will travel to Perth to play Western Australia in a day-night match on Friday.

Part of a thirteen-strong squad which will fly west in mid-week, Rofe is the only player to join the twelve responsible for recording a thrilling four-run win over Tasmania at the Adelaide Oval last Saturday.

The Redbacks have enjoyed an exciting start to their 2000-01 campaign, their win over the Tigers having come after a nail-biting three run loss to competition favourite Queensland the previous weekend in Brisbane. For their part, the Western Australians will be making their first one-day appearance for the summer when the teams take the field at the WACA.

The full squad is: Darren Lehmann (c), Greg Blewett (vc), Chris Davies, David Fitzgerald, Jason Gillespie, Ryan Harris, Ben Johnson, Graham Manou, Rofe, Brett Swain, Jeff Vaughan, Paul Wilson, Brad Young
