Australian switch by star Rogers
Thursday 10th April 2008, 11:40AM BST.
Former Wellington batsman Chris Rogers has made the domestic switch he hopes will reignite his chances of breaking into the Australian Test team.
The left-handed batsman, who helped Wellington to Birmingham League premier division success in his one season at Orleton Park in 2003, has moved from Western Australia to join Victoria.
The 30-year-old, who will spend the English summer with Derbyshire, rejected overtures from South Australia to join Victoria after the state enjoyed a stunning 2007-8, winning the Twenty20 Big Bash and reaching the final of the Pura and Ford Ranger Cups.
Rogers is desperate to build on his one full international cap which came against India in January.
