Sheffield Shield 2023-24 – Aaron Hardie sidelined but Lance Morris returns while Scott Boland rested

Hardie made 99 in his last Shield outing against South Australia, the game where he picked up the injury, and his absence will impact the balance of WA’s side with him having played an important role with the ball.

Morris won’t feature in the Marsh Cup game at Cricket Central on Saturday that precedes the Shield match. Jhye Richardson remains sidelined after recently dislocating his shoulder in a 2nd XI game.

Uncapped left-arm wristspinner Hamish McKenzie features in both the one-day and four-day squads while 18-year-old pace bowler Mahli Beardman could be in line for a List A debut.
