Watson and Symonds return for Queensland

Shane Watson and Andrew Symonds will return to the Queensland team for their one-day match against Victoria on Friday at the Gabba. Both Watson and Symonds were in the Australian squad for the Chappell-Hadlee series against New Zealand, which ended last week. Aaron Nye and Daniel Payne have been omitted from the 12.

Meanwhile, the selectors decided to leave out Martin Love from the line-up. Love had been forced to miss the earlier games after breaking his finger in the first ING Cup match of the season, but had been cleared to play last week.

Queensland haven't lost a one-day game this season and lead the points table six points clear of second-placed Tasmania, while Victoria are in third place.

Squad
Jimmy Maher (capt), James Hopes, Clinton Perren, Shane Watson, Andrew Symonds, Craig Philipson, Chris Hartley, Andy Bichel, Ashley Noffke, Nathan Hauritz, Shane Jurgensen, Brendan Nash.
