SQUAD UPDATE: Rogers withdrawn from Boxing Day squad

Tom Rogers has been withdrawn from the Melbourne Stars’ 14-player squad to face the Sydney Sixers on Boxing Day.

After hurting his knee in the field on Tuesday Night, the Stars will take a cautious approach with Rogers.

Seamer Tom Whitney, who was replaced in the squad by Jono Merlo yesterday, will return to the Stars’ 14.

Rogers will be reassessed ahead of his side’s clash with the Sydney Thunder in Canberra on Sunday night.
