Graham Manou has recovered from a finger injury and will take Shane Deitz's spot for South Australia's FR Cup match with Western Australia on Wednesday. The wicketkeeper Manou picked up the problem in the Pura Cup game against Queensland two weeks ago and is the only change as the Redbacks look for a win at the WACA that would push them from fifth to third.

Western Australia have made four changes to their squad. Ben Edmondson is still unavailable due to a side strain while Michael Hussey, Adam Gilchrist and Brad Hogg are busy with national interests.

Luke Pomersbach will play his first limited-overs match since his state ban, having also returned in the team's Pura Cup win over the Redbacks on the weekend. Justin Langer is back in the one-day line-up after he was a late withdrawal from their previous FR Cup game, against Tasmania nearly three weeks ago. The Warriors, who are third, have also included Theo Doropoulos and Aaron Heal in their 12-man squad.

Western Australia squad Justin Langer, Luke Ronchi (wk), Adam Voges (capt), Luke Pomersbach, Shaun Marsh, Sean Ervine, Theo Doropoulos, Darren Wates, Aaron Heal, Brett Dorey, Steve Magoffin, Danny McLauchlan.

South Australia squad Matthew Elliott, Daniel Harris, Mark Cosgrove, Daniel Christian, Nathan Adcock (capt), Callum Ferguson, Cameron Borgas, Graham Manou (wk), Ryan Harris, Jason Gillespie, Dan Cullen, Paul Rofe.
