MIDLAND Guildford allrounder Keaton Critchell has earned his first WA Cricket deal off the back of his form for WA’s second XI.

The Midland Guildford skipper struck consecutive centuries against Tasmania’s second XI in February before making his One-Day Cup debut against the Tigers in Hobart the following week.

A powerful ball-striker and reliable seam-bowling option, 27-year-old Critchell was also selected in several extended squads throughout the Sheffield Shield season.

Eighteen-year-old batter Corey Wasley – who played two tests and five ODIs for the Australian U19 team – was another new addition after two productive seasons with Rockingham Mandurah’s first grade premier cricket side.

He replaces Jayden Goodwin on the rookie list, with Goodwin promoted to the senior list following a breakout Sheffield Shield campaign.

WA Cricket high performance cricket and elite teams general manager Kade Harvey said Keaton was a great story of persistence after performing well in premier cricket for a number of years, while Corey was an exciting young prospect with a bright future.

The state has made four additions to its 30-man roster, which features six players on Cricket Australia contracts, 20 players on the primary list and four rookies.
