Tasmania head coach Jeff Vaughan has expressed his delight at Wade's availability. “Wade has spoken to his IPL franchise and they are happy to have him here,” Jeff Vaughan told reporters in Hobart. Because of this he will not be able to play some IPL matches. We are fortunate to have an experienced player like Matthew Wade representing us.
