http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 name T20 squad against West Indies – Cricket News Update
Australia has named a 12-man squad for the One-off T20I against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, recalling wicket-keeper batsman Brad Haddin after a gap of 18 months.
The veteran gloveman had forfeited his duties in the shortest version in September 2011 as his main focus at that time was to keep hold of his T20 and ODI position. However, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 becoming the specialist keeper in the two formats over the past
12 months or so, the selectors have decided to name Haddin in squad as they see him an integral part of the national side, albeit as an understudy to Wade.
The team is missing most of the first team players, which contested http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, Glen Maxwell and Xavier
Doherty have all be excluded, and have been replaced by two likely debutants in Nathan Coulter-Nile and Ben Rohrer, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CJ-McKay-c1265 and Josh Hazlewood.
Coulter-Nile and Rohrer’s elevation has come a result of strong showings in the recently concluded Big Bash League. The former bagged 10 wickets at 27.60, while the latter scored 295 runs at 49.16, while playing for Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades
respectively.
Hazlewood is also in line to make a debut after regaining full fitness. The team will be led by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170 and Clint McKay are experienced campaigners
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Josh-Reginald-Hazlewood-c69504 is one of our very promising young pace bowlers who has recently regained full fitness. With the Test squad being in India this fixture will provide some more players with invaluable international experience."
The match will take place after the conclusion of the ongoing ODI series, on February 13, at Brisbane.
Australia Twenty20 squad: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Laughlin-c47596, Josh Hazlewood.
