Glamorgan new signing Nick Selman is in line to get a taste of first team action for Glamorgan as the Welsh county hosts Cardiff MCCU in a 50-over red ball contest at The SSE SWALEC tomorrow, 11am.
Head Coach Robert Croft has shuffled his squad, with James Kettleborough, Will Bragg and Aneurin Donald, who all had a chance to bat in the Good Friday victory against Gloucestershire, sitting out the contest with the students.
Jack Murphy is rested again with Dewi Penrhyn Jones keeping his place after being a late call-up for the game last week.
A 12-man squad is selected, with all players expected to take part in the game as Croft aims to give as many players as possible an opportunity to play. There's also an opportunity for Pontarddulais product Lukas Carey from the Glamorgan Academy, whilst Jeremy Lawlor is in line to play for Cardiff MCCU in the fixture.
Selman who did enough to impress when playing two Second team games for Glamorgan last summer after previous stints with Kent and Gloucestershire hails from the Sunshine Coast.
When I came over a couple of years ago just training alongside first-class players over in Kent, that was a dream and it's been a goal to get a professional contract, Selman said.
To get a contract here was great and hopefully I can break my way into the first-team in all formats.
Selman played cricket to state under-19 level in Queensland but did not make the senior team.
It didn't really work out in Queensland so I was delighted when I got offered a deal over here.
There's a lot of first-class players who play club cricket down in Australia, that's a very good competition so I think I'll be ready for it (the step up).
Selman's signing is designed to provide added competition for top three places in the Glamorgan batting line-up.
It's going to be tough (to break into the first team), but hopefully I'll have a good pre-season he said.
I prefer to open but if I'm needed to bat middle-order, or three or four, then I'm happy to do it.
