Sydney Thunder is proud to announce that Ollie Davies, Sam Konstas, Cameron Bancroft and Nathan McAndrew have been named in the Australia A squad to face India A in two first-class matches, as confirmed today by the Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP).
Sydney Thunder Stars selected for Australia A
The Australia A team will take on India A in Mackay and Melbourne as part of a critical preparation series for the upcoming summer of Test cricket.
Cricket Australia Chair of Selectors, George Bailey, said of the squad:
“We are really excited by this squad, particularly after some of the tremendous performances to start the Sheffield Shield season.
“As always with Australia A selection, we have picked a side we hope can present performances which are compelling for the upcoming Test summer, whilst also rewarding players for strong domestic form in roles we see as being important further afield.”
This is a fantastic achievement for Davies, Konstas, and McAndrew, and the entire Thunder Nation is behind them as they take on this challenge.
