The Sydney Sixers have named a 13-player squad ahead Tuesday night’s Qualifier Final against the Hobart Hurricanes at NINJA Stadium.
Sixers trio Todd Murphy, Sean Abbott & Steve Smith have all departed ahead of the upcoming Test series in Sri Lanka, with the group unavailable for the BBL Finals.
NSW born talent, Lachlan Hearne comes into the squad as a local replacement for Smith. A left-handed batter, Hearne made his Sheffield Shield debut for NSW at just 20-years-old, before moving north to Queensland ahead of this summer.
As per league rules, Hearne will be required to be named in the playing twelve for tomorrow’s match.
First ball of The Qualifier is scheduled for 7.30pm (AEDT) and will be broadcast live via Seven, 7plus, Foxtel, Kayo, ABC Sport and SEN.
The winner of Tuesday night’s match will host The Final next Monday, while the loser will host The Challenger on Friday night.
