Billy retained on CA list

GOLD Coast product Billy Stanlake has been retained in Cricket Australia’s 20-man contract list for 2018-19, but there was no room for rising allrounder Michael Neser.

Stanlake, 23, is one of seven fast bowlers in the squad, which does not included suspended trio Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft.

Gold Coast Dolphins captain Michael Neser loomed as an outside chance for a deal after taking 39 Sheffield Shield wickets at less than 22.
