The domestic One-day Cup is starting to garner real interest on the Australian cricket calendar, and can make an instant star of anyone who can make a hefty score or takes a haul of wickets.

With the competition kicking off at the start of October, let’s have a glance at one player from each state with plenty on the line at the start of the Australian summer.

3. South Australia: Kane Richardson

After playing 12 odis from 2013 to 2016, including a five wicket haul and man of the match performance against India, Kane Richardson has all of a sudden fallen from favour with Australian selectors.

Given white ball cricket is arguably Richardson's most potent form, a strong Matador Cup will be essential if he is to make his way back to international cricket for Australia.

With a lot of bowling talent missing for South Australia this One-Day Cup, Richardson will likely find himself with the new ball each match, and has a big chance that he must take with both hands to continue his career in the green and gold.
