Central West Wranglers shake up their batting lineup for Regional Bash opener

Wranglers have added a couple of new faces to the final team they announced on Wednesday for this season's Twenty20 tournament, which switches back to a knockout format and piles the pressure on teams to perform.

When it came to the bowling attack it was a case of 'Why change a good thing?' as the group who helped the Wranglers reached last season's semi-final make a return.

Young pace duo Mitch Taylor and Fletcher Rose are back for another dig with the team and the experienced combination of Ed Morrish and Matt Stephen means the team are spoilt for a choice of spearhead bowler.

It's in the batting an all-round group where the Wranglers have made the big changes.

Cowra's big-hitting Mick Curtale is on the scene and Bathurst pair Ryan Peacock and Joey Coughlan add reliability to the top order.

Coach Shane Broes said the talent in the region was sure to provide him and other selectors plenty of headaches, but he's thrilled with the squad they've put together.

"It was very hard to pick. There's obviously a few guys who are on the fringe who didn't quite get there. We've just gone with the best team that we think can do the job," he said.

"It's probably a bit more of an experienced side. There's only a couple of young guys in there. Hopefully that will put us in good stead."

Jameel Qureshi once again captains the team and is joined by many of last season's Bathurst representatives such as Adam Ryan, Connor Slattery and Henry Shoemark.

CYMS captain Hugh Le Lievre is an excellent all-round option for the side and Cavaliers' Mitch Black is one of the best spin options in the region you could ask for.

"We've got four good fast bowlers and then spin options with Mitch Black, Jameel and Connor. There's also a medium pacer with Hugh so we have a lot of options with our bowling," Broes said.

"We bat right down to 11 so it's a pretty handy team. Having Mick Curtale back in the team makes a big difference. He's a very good Twenty20 cricketer so hopefully he can fire for us. Having Peakers and Joey up there is great, and if the top order fires then hopefully we'll put up a competitive score.

Central West Wranglers have brought in a marquee for the Twenty20 competition in Dubbo's Ben Patterson, but he is unfortunately unavailable for Sunday's game due to grade cricket.
