Former Australia captain Tim Paine’s playing career may be over, with the wicketkeeper omitted from Tasmania’s list of contracted players and at the age of 37 it seems unlikely he will find a route back into the team.
Both Tasmania and Queensland have strengthened their fast-bowling stocks for 2022-23 with both states this morning announcing their squads for next season. But Paine, who stepped down as Test captain when a sexting scandal broke before last summer’s Ashes series, was not included in the Tasmania’s squad.
