New captain, newlook Qld

Sports

BRISBANE: Queensland have named Daly Cherry-Evans, Corey Oates and Tim Glasby in their team for the final match of the State of Origin series at Suncorp Stadium on July 11.
Cherry-Evans played the last of his six Origin matches in 2015, while Oates is back in Camp Maroon for the first time since the opening game of the 2017 series.
Glasby featured in two winning games in Queensland’s successful 2017 campaign.
The returning trio will linked up with teammates in Brisbane yesterday, before the Maroons travel to Hervey Bay today for the Fraser Coast Fan Day.
Queensland will be without captain Greg Inglis (broken thumb) and utility Kalyn Ponga (hamstring) due to injury.
Billy Slater takes over the captaincy in his final representative match for the Maroons, who will field a new-look backline and starting forward pack.
Cherry-Evans is the new halfback with Ben Hunt moving to the interchange bench. Oates comes in on the wing with Dane Gagai moving to centre for the injured Inglis.
Jai Arrow and Josh Papalii have been selected in the starting team in the front-row, while Dylan Napa has been named in the squad but is unlikely to be available due to a knee injury. He will be assessed by the Maroons medical team today.
