CA agrees to ECB request
SYDNEY, Sept 28: Cricket Australia (CA) agreed in principle Thursday to England's request to use all 16 members of their touring squad in the three-day Ashes warm-up match against New South Wales in November.
The match from Nov 12 to 14 is one of only two long-format warm-up games England will play before the first Test against Australia at Brisbane from Nov 23.
England are also due to play South Australia in a three-day match at Adelaide from Nov 17 to 19.
The England and Wales Cricket Board made the request to use the New South Wales match as a warm-up for all touring players because of concerns the squad might be short of match practice by the time of the first Test.—AP
