Cameron White axed, Hogg returns for T20s– Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bradley-Hogg-c59047.
Hogg has been in superb form since making a return to the T20 circuit, guiding the Perth Scorchers to the finals of the lucrative inaugural T20 tournament. The player has featured extensively in all of his side’s matches, taking up a total of 12 wickets at an impeccable average of 13.5.
The veteran retired from competitive cricket in 2008 but recently desired playing for the national team in the T20 arena, where he has excelled in the previous month and a half. For now, his wishes have been granted after the selectors considered him for the upcoming bouts against the Men In Blue.
Also with the player making himself available for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 and Indian Premier Leagues, it will allow him to gain considerable match action before the World Cup T20, which will be staged in Sri Lankan later in the year.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-John-Inverarity-c85980, the national selector, said that the squad selected ensures success in the T20 arena for a longer haul. However, it also means a change in leadership with Bailey being installed as a permanent successor to out of favour White.
The past 12 months have been particularly hard for the Melbourne Stars' skipper, who was first dropped from the ODI squad after the 2011 World Cup, and now, after a dismal show in the domestic T20 circuit has seen national selectors turn the other way altogether.
"The NSP has been discussing this T20 squad for about six weeks and has unanimously decided on the squad, the captain and the vice-captain. The selectors consider this to be a very well balanced T20 squad and look forward to the team acquitting itself very well," inverarity said. "The NSP has the T20 World Cup to be held in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in September to the fore in its mind with these selections.”
