Morris has not played cricket at any level since suffering a side strain in February during what was his second ODI, with the injury ending his season. Routine scans during the off-season showed a hot spot in his back despite not feeling any pain. Morris was ruled out of playing in the Major League Cricket, and was also not considered for Australia's limited-overs tour of the UK.

Richardson's return to domestic 50-over cricket is another step forward for him, but it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to return to first-class cricket with the Sheffield Shield in October.

WA are looking to become the first men's side in Australian One-Day domestic history to claim four consecutive titles, even as they have won five of the last seven.

Ellis is still recovering from the hamstring injury that saw him ruled out of Australia's limited-overs tour of the UK, while Meredith only arrived back in Australia this week and is set for another scan on the side he injured in the opening match of the tour against Scotland. Ellis did not play in any of Australia's next four T20I matches due to side soreness before returning home, and his recovery time is still to be determined.
