Harris Returns For Crucial One Day Cup Clash

Prolific run scorer Marcus Harris has been named in Victoria's 14-player squad for its important One Day Cup match against rivals, Western Australia.

It shapes as a must-win for both sides, with Victoria looking to return to its winning ways and move back into the top 2 following successive losses to NSW and South Australia last week.

Harris' inclusion will bring further international experience to Victoria's batting lineup, alongside Captain, Peter Handscomb, who last week top scored with a brilliant century in Adelaide.

Harris is one of three changes to Victoria's One Day squad, with Cam McClure replacing Xavier Crone, while Doug Warren is a chance to make his List A debut.

Covering for Todd Murphy, the left-arm spinner impressed in his opening first-class match of the season, taking four wickets against a strong South Australian side.

Youngsters Campbell Kellaway, Harry Dixon and Sam Elliot have been named, while batter Jono Merlo has also retained his position in the squad after making a valuable 78-run knock alongside Peter Handscomb last week.

Speaking to the media today, Todd Murphy said his side was determined to bounce back and continue its promising start to the One Day season.

"It's been a disappointing week, but everyone understands that when we put it together, we're really tough to beat and capable of beating anyone."

"We know WA are going to come over with a really strong team and will be tough to beat, so we're looking forward to matching that and really excited to get back to the MCG."
