Gilchrist to lead Warriors against Warne's Bushrangers
Western Australia Cricket Association - 12 November 2002

The Western Australian cricket selectors have named a 13-man squad for the Pura Cup match against Victoria starting at the WACA Ground on Thursday.

Australian Test stars Adam Gilchrist, Justin Langer and Damien Martyn have all been named in the provisional squad.

Gilchrist will captain the Warriors for the first time this season. Langer is vice-captain, after the Test opener led the team in last month's RE/MAX Cup game against England.

World renowned leg-spinner Shane Warne will lead the Bushrangers.

Fast bowler Paul Wilson has been chosen to make his first-class debut for the Warriors. Wilson joined the Warriors in July after a distinguished career with South Australia.

Wilson, 30 next month, earned his call-up following outstanding form with club side Melville. He has taken 16 wickets at an average of only 8.44, in three matches, including two five wicket hauls of 5-29.

The Warriors squad is: Adam Gilchrist (captain), Justin Langer (vice-captain), Jo Angel, Ryan Campbell, Michael Clark, Murray Goodwin, Brad Hogg, Michael Hussey, Shaun Marsh, Damien Martyn, Matthew Nicholson, Chris Rogers and Paul Wilson.
