The Western Australian Cricket Association has finalised their contract list for the 2017/18 season with Marcus Stoinis the set to bolster their push for the Sheffield Shield title.
Ashton Agar, Hilton Cartwright and Mitchell Marsh are the three Warriors players to have been included on Cricket Australia's contract list as the Warriors head into a domestic campaign without Adam Voges for the first time in 15 seasons.
Warriors coach Justin Langer was delighted to have Stoinis on board for the upcoming season.
“We're thrilled to have Marcus (Stoinis) coming home to West Australia, not only because he's an extremely talented player but he's a great character as well," Langer told the team's website.
"Young Matt Spoors is an exciting young talent. I love his dancing feet; a lot of kids these days have really slow footwork, but Matt's got really fast batting feet."
“12 players have been Australian representatives and that's a great tribute to the program we're running here at the WACA.”
“All the players have worked really hard in the pre-season and the comradery is unbelievable. A number of players who were the ‘young ones' now have four or five years' experience.
2017-18 WESTERN WARRIORS CONTRACT LIST
Ins: Marcus Stoinis (Victoria), Matthew Spoors (Wanneroo).
Outs: Adam Voges (retired), Nathan Rimmington (returned to QLD), Ryan Duffield, Josh Nicholas, Liam O'Connor (not retained).
