Hauritz a late Pura Cup inclusion

Nathan Hauritz has been recalled to the New South Wales Pura Cup squad to take on Tasmania as a late replacement for Beau Casson. Casson, the left-arm wrist-spinner, failed to recover after injuring his shoulder in last week's loss to Victoria and was left out of the 12-man squad for the match to start on Saturday at Sydney.

Hauritz has been in excellent limited-overs form but did not take a wicket in his only Pura Cup game this season. Since moving from Queensland he has found it hard to break into a New South Wales side already boasting Stuart MacGill and Casson.

New South Wales squad Phil Jaques, Ed Cowan, Greg Mail, Simon Katich (capt), Dominic Thornely, Brad Haddin (wk), Grant Lambert, Nathan Hauritz, Matthew Nicholson, Doug Bollinger, Stuart MacGill, Mark Cameron.
