An "emotionally sound" Tim Paine is set to play his first top-level game since a sexting scandal ended his international career, with the former Australia captain included Tuesday in Tasmania's squad for a Sheffield Shield tie. Paine quit as Test skipper last November on the eve of the Ashes campaign against England when lewd text messages he sent to a female colleague in 2017 were about to be made public. The bombshell announcement was followed a week later by Paine taking leave from all forms of cricket for the "foreseeable future" amid concerns about the mental well-being of a player previously seen as squeaky-clean.
