Harvey returns for Sydney clash

Bushrangers all-rounder and World Cup aspirant Ian Harvey returns to the side for Thursday's Pura Cup clash with NSW in Sydney. Joining Harvey, is Prahran leg-spinner Bryce McGain who snared 5/15 in Saturday's Premier Cricket fixture against Richmond.

Harvey was relieved when passed fit to play after missing the previous three Pura Cup games. "Its been a frustrating time on the sidelines so it was a relief to finally get the green light to play. The team's been in good form winning some important matches, so I'm really looking forward to Sydney and the challenge we have in front of us".

St.Kilda duo Nick Jewell and Michael Klinger were the players to make way for Harvey and McGain.
