Victorian spinner Todd Murphy has been selected in the Australia A squad to tour Sri Lanka in June after just two Sheffield Shield matches.
The Sri Lankan tour marks the first Australia A squad to travel overseas since the onset of COVID-19. The A side will play two one-day matches and two four-day matches.
Murphy’s rise comes after a Sheffield Shield match-winning performance against Tasmania at the CitiPower Centre in March.
The 21-year-old claimed match figures of 7-146 and also contributed to a 47 run ninth-wicket stand with Mitch Perry to steer the Vics to a memorable win.
