This practice has been taking place with success during all pre-season lead up matches. Jamie will continue to Captain the team with each member of the group taking on roles during matches to extend their experience in leadership.

The 13th man will be announced on the morning of the match.

Adam Griffith has been selected for Tasmania for the first time. Adam is a tall right arm medium pace bowler who has performed well at ACB Cup level in previous seasons and has forced his way into the team following a strong pre-season this winter.
