Tim David named for Tasmania in domestic 50-over push

Tim David has been selected by Tasmania for their domestic One-Day Cup matches as the 30-year-old seeks a place in Australia's 2027 ODI World Cup squad. He has not played a 50-over match since replacing Glenn Maxwell in a bilateral series before the 2023 World Cup.

Tasmania coach Jeff Vaughan said David has been eager to return to List A cricket and that the timing now aligns with his franchise commitments. David will bat in the middle order, likely around number six, and is expected to play a similar role to his T20 responsibilities in the closing overs.

David remains uncontracted with Cricket Australia. Tasmania's first match involving David is scheduled against Victoria on Saturday.
