Four NSW Blues are headed to the Top End, after being named in a 14-player squad for the upcoming T20I and ODI Series agaist South Africa.<\/p>\n
Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa have all been named by the National Selection Panel in the men’s squads to face South Africa in Darwin, Cairns and Mackay next month.<\/p>\n
The smaller home series squad and the return of Hazlewood and Travis Head means Abbott will miss out on the ODI portion of the series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Steve Smith has retired from ODI cricket while Pat Cummins and Mitch Starc continue their build towards a home summer.<\/p>\n
Fans can watch all the action live on Fox Cricket, Kayo Sports and ABC Radio.<\/p>\n
