Ricky Ponting has been included in a 13-man Tasmanian squad to play South Australia in the domestic one-day final in Hobart.

Ricky Ponting has been named in a 13-man squad for Tasmania's one-day final against South Australia on Saturday.

The Tigers are yet to decide who will make way for Ponting, who was dropped from Australia's one-day squad on Monday.

"Ricky Ponting's inclusion injects world-class qualities into our team and we know that he is very excited at the prospect of playing in this final for Tasmania," chairman of selectors Michael Farrell said.

"The Tigers will take good form into the match as well as plenty of big game experience.

"The team has shown a great ability to play well under pressure throughout the season and have prepared well for the final."

The final will be Tasmania's third in the past three seasons. They won the tournament in 2004-05, 2007-08 and 2009-10.

Tasmania (from): George Bailey (capt), Jackson Bird, Luke Butterworth, Mark Cosgrove, Ed Cowan, James Faulkner, Matt Johnston, Brady Jones, Jason Krejza, Ben Laughlin, Ashton May, Ricky Ponting, Jon Wells (one to be omitted, 12th man to be named).
