The my FootDr Queensland Bulls have called on Australian players Nathan Reardon, Cameron Boyce and Ben Cutting to join Test ace Ryan Harris in their line-up for this weekend’s Bupa Sheffield Shield clash with NSW at the Gabba.
Harris will continue his comeback from off-season knee surgery, with this weekend’s match marking his return to first class cricket since playing the last Test of the South African series early in the year.
Batsmen Reardon, leg-spinner Boyce and paceman Cutting all saw action during Australia’s recent KFC T20I series win over South Africa and will also make their initial Shield appearances of the summer.
The Queensland selectors omitted Jason Floros, Alister McDermott and Nick Stevens while allrounder Michael Neser reported back soreness after the loss to the Warriors earlier in the week in Perth and was not considered while he undergoes tests.
The Bulls have lost their first two matches away and will be playing their first home game of the season.
