Selected to play South Africa
Ettalong Memorial Club bowler Aron Sherriff has been selected for the Australian team in the Australia v South Africa test series at Moonta Memorial Park Bowling Club in South Australia from Tuesday, August 30, to Thursday, September 1.
The test is a first for Sherriff, having not played a test series against South Africa before.
"It's the first time that I will play a test series against South Africa so I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and catching up with old friends," he said.
"Also looking forward to beating them.
"It is always a great thrill to receive the phone call from the national coach to say that I have been selected to represent the country and this time was no different.
"It's a great opportunity for us to compete against a quality nation like South Africa and it will allow us to see how we rank on the world stage.
"I never get nervous but definitely excited about the series," he said.
