Two days later, the Blues will take on Tasmania in a Sheffield Shield match.

Test squad members David Warner, Josh Hazlewood and Moises Henriques have earned a rest, allowing the call up of youngsters Liam Hatcher, Gilkes and Lachlan Hearne to the 14-player NSW Blues squad - with the young trio all being in solid touch in either List-A or second Xl cricket in recent weeks.

Experienced opener Daniel Hughes also returns to the squad having missed the Blues' miraculous last hour win over South Australia in Adelaide last week with a shoulder complaint.

If 20-year-old Hearne is to earn a berth in the starting Xl for the clash with the Tigers it will be his first Baggy Blue cap.

The Blues contingent features five players who have worn the Baggy Green of Australia in Test cricket, as well as bowling all-rounder Sean Abbott who was part of the Test squad for this summer's series against India and is currently sixth on the run-scoring list in this season's Sheffield Shield.
