South Australia batter Callum Ferguson aims to play on in 2020-21, becoming the longest-serving player in the domestic four-day competition
'Desperate' Shield aspirations impact Ferguson's big decision
South Australia veteran and ex-Test batter Callum Ferguson plans to continue his playing career in the hope of capturing the Marsh Sheffield Shield title that has eluded the Redbacks for quarter of a century.
Ferguson, who turns 36 in November, played all but the first two of SA's Shield matches last summer and ended the season as his team's fourth-highest runs-scorer with 451 at an average of 32.21 and a highest score of 123 against Western Australia in Perth.
SA's contract negotiations for 2020-21 have yet to begin following the premature end to last season owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
South Australia Cricket Association has also temporarily halted its search for a new head coach after the COVID-19 virus placed unexpected financial pressure on the organisation.
