Sydney Thunder have made just the one change to their 14-player squad for tomorrow night's final home game at ENGIE Stadium for KFC BBL|15 against the Melbourne Renegades.
Warner hopeful for final home game of the season
Captain David Warner has been named in the squad despite not fielding in yesterday’s loss to the Brisbane Heat. After taking a knock to the knee, Warner did not return following another heroic batting display—an 82-run masterclass that made him the league’s leading run scorer at the time. He’ll work closely with Thunder’s medical team over the next 24 hours in a bid to be fit for the season’s final home game.
Charlie Anderson returns to the squad to replace Nathan McAndrew.
