Renshaw was selected in Australia's 13-man squad for the first Test against the West Indies, but didn\u2019t make it to the playing eleven. \u201cRenshaw will join the Heat tomorrow evening before returning to Adelaide on Saturday for day four the NRMA Insurance Test match against the West Indies,\u201d said Cricket Australia (CA) in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The move means the Australia men's Test team will be without a spare batter who could be used as a concussion replacement for 24 hours if any of their main batters suffered a concussion against West Indies on day three of the ongoing Adelaide Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Renshaw had been the concussion replacement for David Warner in last year\u2019s Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at New Delhi last year. Friday\u2019s qualifier match between the Heat and the Sixers, expected to be a sell-out, will also mark the start of BBL season 13 finals schedule.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Sixers secured their spot in The Qualifier with a three-wicket win against Perth Scorchers in Perth tonight, securing a second chance for progressing into the finals alongside the Heat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Following Friday\u2019s encounter, the Perth Scorchers will host Adelaide Strikers at Optus Stadium on Saturday in The Knockout, with the winner to advance to The Challenger on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The winner of The Qualifier will host The Final next Wednesday, meaning either the Gold Coast or Sydney will host the biggest game of the season, while the loser will have a second chance in The Challenger on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited for the finals series to get underway on the Gold Coast on Friday night and congratulate all four teams in making it to the business end of the season. Cricket fans in Queensland have been extremely quick to secure their seats for the opening finals match, in what\u2019s shaping as a huge night for the Gold Coast.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe BBL has had it all this year and we look forward to seeing what the final four matches have in store and who\u2019s crowned KFC BBL|13 champions,\u201d said Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia\u2019s General Manager, Big Bash Leagues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/matthew-renshaw-released-from-australias-test-squad-to-play-bbl-qualifier.jpg", "alt_img": "Matthew Renshaw released from Australia\u2019s Test squad to play BBL Qualifier", "alt_title": "Dharamsala, India Vs Australia - 4th Test Match - Day - 2", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Matthew Renshaw Released From Australia\u2019s Test Squad To Play BBL Qualifier On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Matthew Renshaw Released From Australia\u2019s Test Squad To Play BBL Qualifier, Big Bash League: Australia batter Matthew Renshaw will be released from the men\u2019s Test squad to play for the Brisbane.", "seo_keywords": "Matthew Renshaw, BBL Qualifier, Brisbane Heat, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, Carrara Stadium, Gold Coast, West Indies, NRMA Insurance Test, Cricket Australia, Adelaide Test, David Warner, Gavaskar Trophy Test, New Delhi, The Sixers, The Qualifier", "tag": "", "tagging": "Matthew Renshaw, BBL Qualifier, Brisbane Heat, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, Carrara Stadium, Gold Coast, West Indies, NRMA Insurance Test, Cricket Australia, Adelaide Test, David Warner, Gavaskar Trophy Test, New Delhi, The Sixers, The Qualifier", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "matthew-renshaw-released-from-australias-test-squad-to-play-bbl-qualifier", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "855", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-01-17 13:36:03", "updated": "2024-01-17 13:36:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Matthew Renshaw, BBL Qualifier, Brisbane Heat, Big Bash League, Sydney Sixers, Carrara Stadium, Gold Coast, West Indies, NRMA Insurance Test, Cricket Australia, Adelaide Test, David Warner, Gavaskar Trophy Test, New Delhi, The Sixers, The Qualifier", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-17 13:36:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/matthew-renshaw-released-from-australias-test-squad-to-play-bbl-qualifier-136224" }
