Hobart, Oct 4 (Ians) Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine is set for Sheffield Shield return with the wicketkeeper-batter confirmed to play for Tasmania in their fixture against Queensland on October 6.
This will be the 37-year-old Paine’s maiden first-class outing in 18 months. A report in cricket.com.au said on Tuesday that while the player “was not offered a state contract by Tasmania for the 2022/23 season after walking away from the game last summer, he will line up for the Tigers against Queensland at the Allan Border Field (in Brisbane) on Thursday”.
The report added that Paine will be the wicketkeeper as Matthew Wade is with the Australia squad for the T20 World Cup, while other wicket-keeping options, Ben McDermott and Jake Doran, will play as batters.
“He (Paine) has been training with us the last couple of months,” Tasmania coach Jeff Vaughan was quoted as saying in the report.
