Rockingham-Mandurah's Corey Wasley made his first-class and List-A debuts for Western Australia within two days.

Corey Wasley, 21, made his first-class debut for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield match against NSW after captain Aaron Hardie suffered a shoulder injury in the first innings. With WA batting to save the game, Wasley scored a valuable 29 from 54 balls as his side reached stumps with just one wicket remaining. The draw sent WA to the top of the Shield table.

Just two days later, Wasley made his List-A debut in the 50-over clash with NSW. Chasing an imposing 371 set by NSW, led by Sam Konstas's 149, WA were bowled out for 293. Wasley scored nine, though his Mariners teammate Sam Whiteman made 116.

Wasley is in his third season on the State's rookie list. The left-hander previously scored 206 in a State Second XI game as an 18-year-old and averaged 68.75 in the competition last season. Rockingham-Mandurah Mariners congratulated him on social media, saying his debuts were the result of 'years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and an enormous amount of commitment'.
