Australian great Nathan Lyon will return to domestic cricket this week after he was named by NSW Men’s Team selectors in a 12-player squad for the opening round of the 2024/25 Sheffield Shield against South Australia at Cricket Central.
Lyon’s inclusion in the squad alongside prodigious leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha gives Blues captain Moises Henriques the potential for a dual topline spin option, while quicks Ryan Hadley, Liam Hatcher and Jack Nisbet are also in the group.
The match gets underway at 10.30am and is free for spectators or can be seen live on cricket.com.au.
