Yeah, admittedly I just looked at The Hundred. Slack research :p. Still hard to see him playing but would be middle order unless one of the other 2 get injured/need to return home unexpectedly. Definitely think him being a keeper is a big part as to why he was picked up.
Good research 🤗

I got caught out the other week looking for at someone's scores and it didn't show the Hundred , had to go back through the CricInfo.

I guess they signed him for a reason.

I guess they could play 6 + Agar & Connolly + Behrendorff , Richardson , Tye (?) then no room for Morris (or Kelly)

Strikers look out of whack to me

Short , M
Short , D
Lynn
Pope , O (probably has to keep)
Weatherald (or Ross)
Overton (is he fit to bowl ?)
Allen
Boyce
Pope (surely keeps his spot)

2 from Bazley , Buckingham , Doggett , Thornton

3 spinners + M Short though 🤔 , so does Nielsen come in for Pope ? or a quick (if Overton is bowling)

Think Boyce and Pope will rotate with each other. Hard to see them playing 2 seamers and 3 spinners if Overton isn’t bowling at the beginning. Bazley probably the big winner if Overton doesn’t bowl at the start.

Their trials will be super important to keep an eye on to see which combos they go ahead with.

Tye is extremely interesting , wonder what the delay is.

Matthew Kelly would be handy in that line up , probably doesn't play much at all again.

Curious to see what Buckingham can do if he gets the opportunity.

Wait for Squad Announcements but this one Bangladeshi cricket team in the West Indies in 2024–25 could affect the West Indies players and Rishad Hossain

If Duckett holds his Test spot he will miss the Stars first 2 games , Pope already reported will miss at least the Strikers opening game.

not even going to try and guess what the PCB do with the NOC for Usama Mir.

I count 13 local + 3 OS so far so am going to assume Tye is the 14th local.

No surprise

Big Bash League: Perth Scorchers won’t leave list spot open on Australian allrounder Cameron Green

Jackson BarrettThe West Australian
Tue, 3 September 2024 7:42AM

Perth Scorchers will look to add superstar allrounder Cam Green to their list as a replacement player later in the tournament, rather than leaving a list spot open for him, if he chooses to return to the club.

Scorchers bosses have held discussions with Green around his availability for this summer’s Big Bash League and it is understood if he plays in the domestic competition for the first time in four years, it would be for his original club.

After taking two top-order batters — England’s Matthew Hurst and Keaton Jennings — at Sunday night’s overseas player draft, the Scorchers have confirmed to The West Australian they will chase a second spinner with their final domestic spot.

Perth are holding out hope that Green will play some part in the back end of the tournament, but are anticipating he will rest after this summer’s five-Test series against India.

If he does make himself available for his first Scorchers game since January 2020, the club would look to add the 25-year-old as a local replacement player during the tournament. ( :unsure: who are they "planning" on getting injured ? , personally think Green and Marsh will be put on cotton wool after the Indian Test Series and before they depart for Sri Lanka)

“We have spoken to Greeny a fair bit throughout this whole process and I think everyone is of the opinion that after five Test matches against India I think it is going to be a tough ask for him to back up and then play the back end of the BBL,” coach Adam Voges told The West.

“There is no pressure for Cam to come and be involved, but he would obviously be welcome should he decide to.”

Green had a lucrative multi-year deal tabled by Brisbane Heat before last season, but chose to sit the tournament out amid a busy international schedule.

The WA star is preparing for white-ball series against Scotland and England but will return to Perth after the series and is a chance to play the opening Sheffield Shield games of the season before the Test summer.

The Scorchers lost wrist-spinner Hamish McKenzie, who played four games last season, to Melbourne Stars in the off-season.

They had weighed up taking a spin option late in the draft, but instead picked Jennings to boost their batting stocks.

Three-time shield-winning off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli is available after playing for Melbourne Renegades and Stars on short-term deals in the past two seasons, while Scarborough’s Matthew Spoors — who has previously held a rookie deal with Western Australia — played for the club in last month’s Top End T20 series.

“Spin will be that last domestic spot and we’re hoping to look local for that,” Voges said.

Perth’s move to sign New Zealand blaster Finn Allen on a two-year deal outside of the draft meant they could not afford to retain fan-favourite Laurie Evans when his name was read out with the third pick by the Renegades.

They passed in the gold round of the draft before taking Hurst, a 20-year-old English keeper-batter who lit up The Hundred for Manchester Originals.

Jennings landed at the Scorchers with their final pick and is a strong chance to open the batting with Allen.

Hurst’s wicket-keeping ability gives them back up to Josh Inglis, who will come into consideration for Australian selection this summer.
