Sydney Thunder Head Coach, Trevor Bayliss, has announced a 14-player squad for tomorrow night’s highly anticipated clash against cross-city rivals, the Sydney Sixers.
Thunder name squad for Sydney Smash
Sydney Thunder squad v Adelaide Strikers:
- David Warner (31) (C)
- Wes Agar (8)
- Cameron Bancroft (1)
- Sam Billings (77)
- Ollie Davies (9)
- Lockie Ferguson (69)
- Chris Green (93)

- Nathan McAndrew (44)
- Tom Andrews (54)
- Sherfane Rutherford (50)
- Daniel Sams (95)
- Jason Sangha (23)
- Tanveer Sangha (17)
The match will mark a special milestone for Chris Green, who could become the first men's player to make his 100th BBL appearance for the club—an incredible achievement following his recent contract extension with Thunder through to the end of BBL|16.
Sam Konstas has also been named in the squad, fresh off selection into the Australian team ahead of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
Tom Andrews has been called into the squad, stepping in for the injured allrounder Will Salzmann. The Sydney Smash marks his first inclusion in the Thunder lineup, and if he makes his debut, it will add to his tally of seven T20 matches.
Tickets are available to purchase here. Thunder fans can catch all the action live on Fox Cricket, available on Foxtel and Kayo Sports, and listen on ABC Sport & SEN.
