Tasmania has named Tim Paine in an extended squad of 14 for the opening game of the Twenty20 Big Bash against Western Australia at the WACA on Thursday.
The wicketkeeper-batsman, seen as next in line to the Test gloves held by Brad Haddin, has missed more than a month of cricket after breaking his finger in an exhibition game in November.
He had been expected to make an early return last week, but failed a fitness test at the last minute.
Pakistani all-rounder Rana Naveed has returned for his second Big Bash with the Tigers, while big-hitting Dutchman Ryan ten Doeschate is set to play his first game this Thursday.
Tasmania: George Bailey (c), Travis Birt, Luke Butterworth, Mark Cosgrove, Ed Cowan, Xavier Doherty, Brendan Drew, James Faulkner, Jason Krejza, Rhett Lockyear, Rana Naveed, Tim Paine, Ryan ten Doeschate, Jonathan Wells.
