Melbourne, April 7: Fast bowler Jhye Richardson has been cut from Cricket Australia’s contracted list after the surprising rise of fellow paceman Scott Boland.
Richardson was the most surprising omission from CA’s 20-player list for the 2022-23 season announced Thursday. Richardson claimed a vital second-innings five-wicket haul in the test victory over England in Adelaide in December.
The 25-year-old Richardson was overlooked for the next Ashes test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and replaced by Boland.
Boland, retains his spot after earning a mid-season contract upgrade.
“It has been a terrific 12 months highlighted by the successes of the T20 World Cup, the Ashes and the Pakistan test series,” chairman of selectors George Bailey said.
“The performances by Mitch Marsh, Usman, Travis, Scott, Marcus and Mitch Swepson were pivotal in helping secure those successes and we are pleased they have retained their contracts. We believe this group provide us great coverage and versatility across all formats while others, as we saw in the past year, will continue to get opportunities to play a big part.”
