Melbourne, Dec 2 (IANS): The National Selection Panel (NSP) has named Peter Handscomb as skipper of the 13-member squad for the Cricket Australia XI match against South Africa at Allan Border Field in Brisbane.

"It's an exciting opportunity for Teague Wyllie and Campbell Kellaway to play alongside and learn from established domestic cricketers against an international team of South Africa's quality.

"Peter Handscomb will captain the CA XI and will have strong support from established leaders within domestic cricket," he added.
