Symonds ends break to join Bulls
SYDNEY: Andrew Symonds" Queensland comeback will begin on Saturday (today) after he answered a call to help out the injury-depleted one-day side in Alice Springs.
Symonds, who had his Cricket Australia contract torn up in May, was due to play only Twenty20 matches for the state as a guest signing, but a recurrence of Chris Swan"s groin problem and a knee injury for Glen Batticciotto led to an early return.
Symonds agreed on Wednesday to join the FR Cup squad to face South Australia and will be paid on a match contract. Queensland"s selection chairman Ray Phillips said Symonds had been waiting for the call.
Queensland were prepared to include Symonds in their squad but he did not want to commit to a full season. His last major tournament was the Champions League Twenty20 in India, where his side the Deccan Chargers were knocked out in the first round.
