Skipper Matthew Wade and spinner Paddy Dooley have returned for the Hobart Hurricanes of their house Big Bash League conflict in opposition to the Sydney Thunder.
The fifth-placed Thunder gained the toss and elected to bat first on Saturday afternoon at Blundstone Arena.
They are unchanged from their nine-wicket loss to Perth Scorchers on Friday night time.
The Hurricanes, who sit one win beneath the Thunder in sixth place, dropped D’Arcy Short and Mitch Owen for Wade and Dooley.
The match looms as essential for the top-five possibilities of either side.
Test opener David Warner is enjoying his second match of the BBL season for the Thunder after scoring 19 in opposition to the Scorchers.
