Injured Shaun Marsh named for Matador Cup

Shaun Marsh and Ashton Agar have been named in Western Australia's squad for next month's Matador Cup, despite both carrying injuries that will likely prevent them from being available for the start of the tournament. Fast bowler Jason Behrendorff has also been included and will make his return from a lengthy lay-off, having not played since the BBL in January due to a stress fracture of the lower back.

Western Australia have named a near full-strength group for the one-day tournament, with only Mitchell Marsh unavailable due to Australian duties and Nathan Coulter-Nile injured. However, Shaun Marsh's broken finger and Agar's shoulder injury will likely mean they are unavailable until later in the tournament, in which case WA can apply to Cricket Australia for injury replacement players.

"It's great to see Jason [Behrendorff] back in the squad after a long time out," coach Justin Langer said. "He's a consummate professional with his rehab and has been diligent throughout so we're confident he can return to his best during the Matador Cup.

"It's great to have Adam Voges here to lead the side, while we've got good experience with players like Michael Klinger and Nathan Rimmington around him."
