Cameron Borgas, the Sturt batsman, and Gary Putland, the 19-year-old fast bowler from Southern District, are likely to make their ING Cup debut for South Australia, when they take on New South Wales in their opening game on October 23. Matthew Elliott, the left-handed batsman, was included in both the ING Cup and Pura Cup squads, announced today, and is set to make his South Australia debut, after moving from Victoria.
Ryan Harris, the Northern Districts allrounder, was not available for selection, owing to a knee injury he sustained during yesterday's one-day Grade match against Adelaide. Harris is scheduled to undergo surgery today on torn cartilage in his left knee and it is still uncertain how long he will be out of action.
With the introduction this season of the super-sub initiative into the ING Cup competition, South Australia will be naming a 13-man team throughout the year. Of this 13, one player will be named as the super-sub and one player the 12th man on the morning of the match.
The Pura Cup match, against New South Wales, will be held on the SCG from Tuesday, October 25.
