Luke Pomersbach is set to make his first-class debut for Western Australia fresh from a century against the England XI last weekend. Pomersbach has been included in the Warriors' 12-man squad for the Pura Cup match against Tasmania at Hobart starting on Tuesday.

He top-scored with 101 not out in the tour match against England and has also impressed in his first two Ford Ranger Cup games this season. Pomersbach will be joined in the squad by Darren Wates and the allrounder David Bandy.

Tim Macdonald, Shawn Gillies and Aaron Heal have been left out. Heal can consider himself unlucky - he leads the Western Australia bowling tally in Pura Cup games this season with 16. Bandy and Wates have also been promoted to the Warriors' FR Cup squad for Sunday's match against Tasmania. The Tigers have made no changes to their FR Cup squad.
