Tigers Announce One Day Cup Squad to Face Western Australia

Tasmania’s Tigers are gearing up for their first home match of the One Day Cup 2025-26 season. They will take on Western Australia at Ninja Stadium in Bellerive. The match is set to commence at 10:30 am AEDT on Monday, October 20, 2025.

Tasmania’s Strong Start to the Season

Having achieved a remarkable 3-0 record, Tasmania has emerged as the form team in the competition. In their most recent match, they successfully chased down a target of 312 runs against Queensland earlier this October. This impressive performance marks one of their best starts to the One Day Cup in several years.

Squad Updates

The squad for the upcoming match features notable changes from their last victory over Queensland. Key inclusions are:

  • Aidan O’Connor: The 2024-25 Young Player of the Year makes his return following an injury layoff.
  • Billy Stanlake: This all-rounder is back after missing two matches due to a leg injury.
  • Kieran Elliott: A well-regarded First-Class cricketer, Elliott is poised to make his One Day Cup debut.
  • Ruwantha Kellopatha: A promising leg-spinner, he recently debuted in the Cricket Tasmania Premier League.

However, Tasmania will be without several Australian representatives. Nathan Ellis, Matt Kuhnemann, and Mitch Owen are currently participating in the Australia One Day International squad against India. Additionally, Beau Webster is recovering from an ankle injury and is expected to return for the next Shield game in Victoria. Riley Meredith is also being managed after a heavy workload in the Sheffield Shield.
