Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris will step up his build-up to higher honours next week by playing for the Queensland Academy of Sport in their Toyota Futures League match against NSW at Allan Border Field. Harris was today named to play in the four-day game against the NSW 2nd XI after making his comeback from knee surgery earlier this month for Toombul in the my FootDr Premier Grade competition. Harris will play for Toombul again tomorrow against Valley at Ken Mackay Oval before joining the QAS in the game starting on Monday as his bowling workload is gradually increased. Harris will be joined in the comeback ranks by my FootDr Queensland Bulls allrounder Michael Neser who will make his return from a broken hand suffered during the recent Matador One Day Cup campaign. The QAS, which won the Futures League last season, opened their 2014-15 account in fine style yesterday with a 40-run win over the ACT in Canberra. University of Queensland batsman Michael Philipson enjoyed a Futures League debut to remember, scoring a century in each innings, and captaining the team to victory. English product Charlie Hemphrey, a late inclusion in the side this week, retains his spot while Australian Under-19 opening batsman Matthew Renshaw has been called into the squad. Hemphrey, 25, became a permanent resident of Australia earlier this month. Originally from Yorkshire, the off-spinning allrounder has played 2nd XI for Kent, Essex and Derbyshire. He has been a regular first grade player for Redlands and Toombul. Meanwhile Bulls and Brisbane Heat batsman Chris Lynn will make his return from an off-season shoulder operation for Toombul tomorrow. He will play as a batsman only as he builds strength in his shoulder.
