Ferguson & Stevens to debut for the Redbacks

The South Australian Cricket Association (SACA) has named a thirteen-man squad for the ING Cup clash against the Queensland Bulls to be played this Saturday, February 8 at Adelaide Oval.

The game will see Callum Ferguson and Lachlan Stevens make their debut for the Redbacks.

Ferguson, 18, is a Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy graduate and a member of the South Australian Under-19 squad. The stylish right-handed batsman already has scored 451 at an average of 41 for Prospect this season, including 151 against West Torrens in round two.

Ferguson's figures in the second XI (ACB Cup) competition this season include a 108 not out against the Western Australian second XI in October.

Stevens, a left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox spinner, captains the Adelaide Cricket Club and has amassed 541 runs at an average of 45, and has taken 30 wickets in the Grade competition so far this season.

The 24-year-old last year made the move from Queensland to South Australia to continue pursuing his first-class career. He has represented Australia in the Under-19s and is a graduate of the Queensland Academy of Sport.

Bowling all-rounder Mick Miller returns to the one-day side, following the departure of Mark Harrity from the State competition.

A 13th man will be named on the morning of the match.

The ING Cup game starts at 9.30am, with gates opening at 8.30am. Tickets are available from the Adelaide Oval gates.
