Quick star to return against SA

XAVIER Bartlett will be back on deck for Queensland today after sitting out their thrilling loss in the under-19 national championships yesterday.

Paceman Bartlett was rested as part of Queensland Cricket’s efforts to manage workloads but will return today against South Australia.

It shapes as an important game after their one-wicket loss to the Northern Territory.

Bartlett’s Gold Coast Dolphins teammate Max Bryant fell for a brisk 17 but produced fine figures of 2-16 off seven overs of medium pace.
