Outstanding young batsman Shaun Marsh was tonight added to the squad.

Marsh, 19, smashed a sparkling 40 from just 30 balls in Thursday's ING Cup limited-overs match against Queensland. The stylish left-hander was not named in the original Warriors squad.

Fast bowler Matthew Nicholson is battling a viral infection. A decision on whether he plays against the Bulls will be made shortly before the match.

Nicholson has been sidelined for the past month as he recovered from a ruptured tendon in his bowling arm.

The Warriors 12th man will also be named just before the match.

The Warriors squad is: Jo Angel (Captain), Murray Goodwin (v-captain), Beau Casson, Michael Clark, Kade Harvey, Shaun Marsh, Scott Meuleman, Matthew Nicholson, Marcus North, Chris Rogers, Luke Ronchi, Callum Thorp, Adam Voges and Paul Wilson.
