Two big ins for the Perth Scorchers as they seek to claim a BBL|06 semi-final berth in Hobart
Voges, Whiteman in for key clash
Adam Voges has returned to the Perth Scorchers squad ahead of their crucial KFC Big Bash League clash against the Hobart Hurricanes, while Perth will also stick by underperforming opening batsman Shaun Marsh.
Former Test player Voges has overcome a hamstring injury and will be fit for Saturday's fixture at Bellerive Oval where victory will confirm a semi-finals berth for the Scorchers.
"The hammy is good now. It has taken a little bit longer (to heal) than we hoped," Voges told SportFM on Friday.
Sam Whiteman also returns to the squad, with the duo's comeback squeezing out Cameron Bancroft and Josh Inglis.

"We've had a little bit of discussion about changing the order but I think we will stick with Shaun.
"You've just got to keep backing your guys in."
Citing last round's batting collapse against Melbourne Stars in which Perth's top-five batsmen made a combined total of 18 runs, Voges said the "performance was a bit off".
"We will put a bit more emphasis on getting off to a better start (in Hobart)," he added.
Hobart will welcome back spinner Clive Rose at the expense of paceman Sam Rainbird in a must-win proposition for the Hurricanes to make the BBL finals.

The island team must secure a convincing win on Saturday and rely on the outcome of other matches to tip the net run rate standings in their favour.
International star batsman Kumar Sangakkara has been named in the Hurricanes' squad but is not a certainty for the XI after being omitted for the past two games.
His contract with the franchise expires at the end of the season.
Hurricanes squad: Tim Paine (capt), Dan Christian, Cameron Boyce, George Bailey, Stuart Broad, Hamish Kingston, Ben McDermott, Clive Rose, Jake Reed, Kumar Sangakkara, D'Arcy Short, Beau Webster, Jon Wells.
