Matt Renshaw named for Qld's Shield final

Fringe Test batsman Matthew Renshaw has been named in Queensland's squad for their Sheffield Shield final against Tasmania but is no certainty to play.

Matthew Renshaw has been named in a 13-man Queensland squad for their Sheffield Shield final against Tasmania but must pass concussion testing to be cleared to play.

The fringe Test opener suffered a head knock in a collision with a teammate during the warm-up before day two of the Bulls' outright win over NSW in Wollongong and was replaced by Lachlan Pfeffer for the remainder of the match.

Renshaw, 21, will need to train and pass follow-up testing under Cricket Australia's concussion policy to take his place in the team for the five-day final, which begins on Friday at Allan Border Field.

Pfeffer has also been included in the squad, which is otherwise unchanged.

"We've effectively used the same squad for the second half of the season and their consistency has been rewarded with a chance to play in the final," Queensland Cricket chairman of selectors Justin Sternes said.

Queensland last won the Sheffield Shield in 2011-12 while Tasmania's most recent title was in the following season, clinched with a draw against the Bulls in Hobart.

Queensland: James Peirson (captain), Joe Burns, Brendan Doggett, Luke Feldman, Sam Heazlett, Charlie Hemphrey, Marnus Labuschagne, Michael Neser, Lachlan Pfeffer, Matthew Renshaw, Mark Steketee, Mitch Swepson, Jack Wildermuth.
