Rashid Khan and Alex Carey are among five cricketers set to line up for the Crows in the T20 Showdown at Adelaide Oval this Sunday.
On Wednesday, Adelaide’s Tom Lynch and Port Adelaide’s Hamish Hartlett selected five players each to round out their squads.

Crows T20 captain Lynch selected first and claimed Kangaroo Island local Bridget Patterson.
An aggressive right-hander, Patterson scored more than 200 runs for the second straight season in WBBL04.
Next on Lynch’s list was Strikers keeper Alex Carey, with the side short behind the stumps.
Carey broke the record for most runs in a summer by a Strikers player back in BBL07, highlighted by a century against Hobart at Adelaide Oval.
Afghanistan leg-spinner Khan, Adelaide’s leading wicket-taker in BBL07 and BBL08 was Lynch’s third pick.
On Tuesday, Khan was selected to the BBL09 Team of the Tournament with 18 wickets taken and an impressive strike rate of 156.96 with the bat.
