WESTERN Australian cricket selectors, in conjunction with the Australian Cricket Board, have been forced to make a change to the ACB Chairman's XI to play England at Lilac Hill on Tuesday.
Warriors opener Scott Meuleman has a thigh injury and has been forced to withdraw.
He will be replaced by left-hand top-order specialist Chris Rogers.
Rogers, 25, established a piece of WA history late last season when he compiled unbeaten centuries in each innings of a Pura Cup match against South Australia.
He became the sixth West Australian to complete the `ton-double' (101 and 102) for his state and the first to remain not out on achieving the feat.
This year's annual ACB Chairman's match officially launches England's Orange Test series tour of Australia for the 2002-2003 season. It is the 13th Lilac Hill Chairman's XI match.
Former Test stars Kim Hughes, David Hookes and Wayne Clark have accepted invitations to play.
The team is:
Michael Hussey (Captain), Ryan Campbell (vice-captain), Michael Clark, Kade Harvey, Brad Hogg, Chris Rogers, Matthew Nicholson, Marcus North, Callum Thorp, Paul Wilson, Kim Hughes, David Hookes and Wayne Clark.
