Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades Fantasy Preview

Peter Siddle has been named in the Melbourne Renegades’ squad for their season opener against the Sydney Sixers. Cleared by Cricket Australia to play after being omitted from the second Test in Brisbane, the Victorian will provide a boost to the Renegades’ pace stocks. Coach Simon Helmot said the past 48 hours had provided a measure of Siddle’s character. “We’re disappointed for Pete being left out of the team, but within half an hour of him finding out that news, he was on the phone discussing plans and best ways for him to prepare to play for us. “It shows the type of person he is, that out of a disappointment he’s still looking to make a positive, and that positive will be in red colours.

Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell have also both been named; the latter arriving in Melbourne on Wednesday after a marathon 56-hour plane journey.

Andrew Fekete is part of the squad after being promoted to the list to replace the injured Jayde Herrick. Between Fekete, Fawad Ahmed and Nathan Rimmington, the Renegades have the three leading wicket takers in the Sheffield Shield so far this summer.


Moises Henriques will lead the side which features some last minute squad changes due to injury, withdrawals and players missing through national duty.

With five players on Aussie Test duties and injuries to Stephen O’Keefe and Trent Copeland, Luke Doran and Simon Keen have been called in to replace the injured players, while new recruit Riki Wessels will arrive over the weekend.

Sixers Probable 11 : Lumb, Maddinson, Cowan, Henriques, Carters, Silk, Abbott, Bollinger, Doran, Keen, Lee

Renegades Probable 11 : Finch, Wade, Rohrer, Ferguson, Cooper, Bravo, Russell, Fekete, Rimmington, Siddle, Ahmed
