Matthew Renshaw Released From Australia’s Test Squad To Play BBL Qualifier

Big Bash League: Australia batter Matthew Renshaw will be released from the men’s Test squad to play for the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League (BBL) qualifier against the Sydney Sixers at the Carrara Stadium in Gold Coast on Friday.

Renshaw was selected in Australia's 13-man squad for the first Test against the West Indies, but didn’t make it to the playing eleven. “Renshaw will join the Heat tomorrow evening before returning to Adelaide on Saturday for day four the NRMA Insurance Test match against the West Indies,” said Cricket Australia (CA) in a statement.

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.
