English all-rounder Tom Curran has been added back into the Melbourne Stars’ squad for Saturday night’s Melbourne Derby.
Curran was a late withdrawal from Thursday night’s match at the MCG after experiencing hip soreness, but he is set to be available for selection against the Renegades.
Jonathan Merlo, who was the late inclusion to the 14-player squad against the Sixers, will make way for Curran.
Saturday night’s clash at Marvel Stadium will be the second meeting between the cross-town rivals in less than a week, with 68,124 fans filling the MCG for the first encounter last Sunday.
The match will get underway at 7:15pm (AEDT), and will be broadcast exclusively on Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
