Vics regain Wade for Shield clash

Updated December 01, 2011 14:29:55

Fourth-placed Victoria will regain wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade for Friday's crucial Sheffield Shield match with unbeaten Queensland at the MCG.

Ryan Carters makes way for Wade, who returns from Australia A duties, and top order batsman Aaron Finch has been recalled for youngster Peter Handscomb, who made a duck and 16 in last month's loss to Tasmania.

The Bulls, meanwhile, are considering rushing Ben Cutting into their line-up after the pace bowler was on Thursday named 12th man for Australia's first Test team against New Zealand in Brisbane.

The Bushrangers have lost both their home matches this season. They have 10 points from five appearances, while the James Hopes-led Bulls have claimed 30 points in their five-match winning streak this season.

Victoria: Cameron White (captain), Chris Rogers, Rob Quiney, Aaron Finch, David Hussey, Andrew McDonald, Matthew Wade, Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, Scott Boland, Jayde Herrick, Jon Holland

Queensland: James Hopes (captain), Cameron Boyce, Ryan Broad, Joe Burns, Luke Feldman, Peter Forrest, Matthew Gale, Chris Hartley, Chris Lynn, Alister McDermott, Michael Neser, Wade Townsend, Ben Cutting (possible late inclusion following omission from Test XI)
