‘Dominant' Jake Weatherald, Jason Sangha and Kurtis Patterson chosen for Australia A
Batsmen Jake Weatherald, Jason Sangha and Kurtis Patterson have been rewarded for 'dominant' 2024-25 Sheffield Shield seasons with selection in an Australia A squad for a five-match multi-format series against Sri Lanka A next month in Darwin. Tasmania's Weatherald was the competition's highest run-scorer with 906 at average of 50.33. Patterson averaged 57.15 in scoring 743 runs for NSW, while Sangha, who was part of South Australia's Shield winning team, scored 704 runs at an average of 78.22. 'Jake Weatherald, Jason Sangha and Kurtis Patterson have all had dominant Sheffield Shield seasons and earned the opportunity to test themselves against international opposition,' national chairman of selectors George Bailey said. Apart from Patterson, the other players in the squad with Test mach experience are SA skipper Nathan McSweeney and Queensland batsman Matthew Renshaw, while Tasmania paceman Billy Stanlake and NSW wicketkeeper Josh Philippe have represented Australia in white-ball cricket. Selectors did not consider players with existing overseas opportunities in choosing the squad for a series to be made up of three 50-over one-day games and two four-day matches. An Australia A captain is yet to announced. 'We're looking forward to playing an Australia A series in Darwin and experiencing the unique Northern Territory winter climate which allows for a variety of conditions,' Bailey said. 'We've picked a balanced squad which provides a number of options, which we expect will be required over the course of the series. 'Additionally, there is a strong presence of emerging talent in the squad who will benefit from playing alongside senior players including Nathan McSweeney and Matthew Renshaw.'

Ex-Test bats get chance to make case in Australia A
Kurtis Patterson will be given another chance to stake his claim for an unlikely international comeback, named in the Australia A squad to face Sri Lanka A. Six years after playing his last Test for Australia, Patterson is one of several big names to headline the 16-man 'A' squad for the multi-format series in Darwin next month. Nathan McSweeney will feature after playing three Tests last summer before losing his spot at the top of the order, while Matt Renshaw is also named. Former white-ball international quick Billy Stanlake forms part of the squad after playing just two 50-over games for Tasmania last summer, while Tigers opener Jake Weatherald also features. Australia's selectors did not consider players who already have overseas deals that overlap with the three one-day and two four-day games against the Sri Lankans. Patterson is currently in the middle of a three-match stint with Surrey, but will return home in time to play for Australia A. A century-maker in his last Test for Australia in early 2019, Patterson was squeezed out of the side when David Warner and Steve Smith returned from bans. The 32-year-old's career has been a rollercoaster since then, including going from captaining NSW in the Sheffield Shield to being dropped altogether. Patterson won back his spot in the state side last summer, and was the competition's fourth-leading run-scorer with 743 at an average of 57.15. The left-hander also scored a century for Australia A against the England Lions in January, further making his case for a Test recall. "We've picked a balanced squad which provides a number of options, which we expect will be required over the course of the series," chief selector George Bailey said. "Jake Weatherald, Jason Sangha and Kurtis Patterson have all had dominant Sheffield Shield seasons and earned the opportunity to test themselves against international opposition. "Additionally, there is a strong presence of emerging talent in the squad who will benefit from playing alongside senior players including Nathan McSweeney and Matthew Renshaw who bring substantial experience at 'A' level." AUSTRALIA A SQUAD TO FACE SRI LANKA A: Sam Elliott, Matt Gilkes, Bryce Jackson, Campbell Kellaway, Nathan McSweeney, Jack Nisbet, Mitch Perry, Kurtis Patterson, Oliver Peake, Josh Philippe, Matt Renshaw, Jason Sangha, Liam Scott, Billy Stanlake, Henry Thornton, Jake Weatherald.

Surrey seamers bowl out Essex on opening day
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Kia Oval (day one)Essex 217: Pepper 75, Walter 38; Smith 3-54 Surrey 94-3: Patterson 51, Sibley 24*; Porter 2-38Yet to batSurrey 3 pts, Essex 1 ptMatch scorecard Surrey dismissed Essex for 217 as events on day one at the Kia Oval followed a familiar won the toss, the champions fielded first on a well-grassed surface and despite Michael Pepper's 75 they bowled Essex out in two left-hander Kurtis Patterson led the reply with 51 as Surrey reached 94-3 at stumps, 123 provided much of the resistance in front of a crowd of 5,861 and helped Essex's last three wickets add 71, while at the start of the day Surrey did not use the new ball particularly well. But they have got themselves into a familiar position and will try to bat into the third day before putting Essex back under pressure in their second had been the promise of a different story unfolding in the first half hour when Dean Elgar and Paul Walter helped themselves to 10 boundaries in the opening eight overs as they posted a half-century stand with few alarms against some unusually indifferent new-ball bowling by Dan Worrall and Nathan when Sam Curran, who was making his first Championship appearance of the season, replaced Worrall at the Vauxhall End he broke through with his second ball, which darted off the seam and Elgar edged it to second 50 without loss Essex slipped to 95-4 as the Surrey seamers profited from bowling a better length. Walter played well for his 38 but was one of three wickets to fall in 7.4 overs for seven runs as the champions tightened the screw before Ben Foakes snapped up a simple opportunity when Walter poked at Jordan Clark's outswinger but there was nothing ordinary about his next intervention when he dived in front of first slip to remove Charlie Allison after Smith had switched ends – his 450th catch in first-class had a second wicket before lunch and Foakes a third catch after skipper Tom Westley was surprised by extra bounce and Essex would have been in further strife had Jamie Overton, like Curran playing his first Championship game of the season, not dropped straightforward catches at slip to reprieve first Pepper and then Matt Critchley off successive deliveries. Overton took himself out of the cordon but Pepper apart, Essex failed to make the most of their good aiming to leg, was beaten by Tom Lawes' late inswing and Foakes had his fourth catch – and Worrall his first wicket – when Noah Thain followed an away swinger. Simon Harmer was lbw unwisely offering no shot when Curran switched from 146-7, Pepper led a tail-end revival, first with Shane Snater with whom he added 51 in 65 balls. Snater contributed 28 before edging to second slip in Overton's third over but Pepper brought up Essex's 200 by driving Overton handsomely over long-on for six while adding another 24 with Sri Lankan Kasun Rajitha. Rajitha eventually played on to Smith and Pepper holed out to deep mid-wicket for a season's best 75 from 94 balls with nine was caught at slip aiming an expansive drive at Jamie Porter as Surrey began their reply and they suffered a further setback when Patterson was squared up by Porter shortly after the Australian left-hander had reached an attractive half-century. Nightwatchman Lawes fell in the penultimate over but Surrey are still well Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay
