MacGill to miss one-dayer with nose injury

Stuart MacGill's interrupted start to the season has continued after he injured his nose in a fielding accident while training on Saturday. The mishap forced him out of New South Wales' Ford Ranger Cup match against Tasmania on Sunday and will also keep him from playing the FR Cup game against Western Australia at the SCG on Wednesday.

MacGill has had a less-than-ideal three months after hurting his knee in Australia's boot camp in the Queensland bush in August and incurring a two-week ban for a verbal stoush in a Sydney club game in October. The New South Wales selectors will wait for a report on his injury before deciding if he will play in the Pura Cup clash with the Warriors starting on Friday.

Nathan Hauritz, who replaced MacGill in Sunday's game and took 3 for 25, will again be the front-line spinner for the one-day match. The selectors have named a 13-man squad including Michael Clarke. However, if Clarke is required by the Australia team ahead of the first Ashes Test starting on Thursday, the 13th man Ed Cowan could replace him in the New South Wales team.

New South Wales squad Phil Jaques, Simon Katich (capt), Michael Clarke, Dominic Thornely, Ed Cowan, Aaron O'Brien, Brad Haddin (wk), Daniel Christian, Moises Henriques, Aaron Bird, Nathan Hauritz, Nathan Bracken, Doug Bollinger.
