Legspinner Lloyd Pope has been dropped by South Australia, less than a month after becoming the youngest Sheffield Shield bowler to take seven wickets in an innings.
The 18-year-old has been omitted from SA's team to play Tasmania in Hobart next week, replaced by fellow leggie Adam Zampa who returns from national short-format duties.
In late October, Pope claimed 7-87 against Queensland in a Shield match but he has since gone wicketless, with 0-344 in four innings.
Pope's omission is one of two changes for SA's side with Alex Carey, like Zampa, to return from Australian short-format commitments and replace wicketkeeper Harry Nielsen.
Carey and Zampa will travel to Hobart for the Shield game starting Tuesday following Australia's Twenty20 game against India in Sydney on Sunday night.
SA squad:
Travis Head (captain), Alex Carey, Tom Cooper, Callum Ferguson, Jake Lehmann, Conor McInerney, Joe Mennie, Kane Richardson, Jake Weatherald, Nick Winter, Daniel Worrall, Adam Zampa.
