The West End Redbacks have added Kane Richardson to their squad for Monday’s Marsh Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania at Karen Rolton Oval.
Richardson most recently featured in Australia’s limited-overs tour of England, which was the team’s return to international cricket.
The 29-year-old has played 32 first-class matches for South Australia, with 96 wickets and best figures of 5/69.
Interim Head Coach Luke Butterworth said:
“We’ve brought Kane in as an experienced bowler and he adds another dimension to our attack.
“After Kane featured in an international tour which included a period of isolation, it was best for him to work up to the demands of first-class cricket last weekend through a two-day practice match.
“Daniel Worrall is also progressing with his calf injury, with a view that he could potentially be available for selection in round three.”
Jason Gillespie will finish his mandatory 14-day quarantine halfway through the match against Tasmania.
Alex Carey remains unavailable for selection due to pre-existing commitments with Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
Play begins at 11am on Monday at Karen Rolton Oval. Entry is free.
