“The ODI squad is the same as the squad for the Commonwealth Bank Series finals beginning next week with the addition of three players in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-John-Inverarity-c85980. “This completes a well-balanced squad and it is anticipated that most players will receive good opportunities to show their worth.”
Brad Haddin, who served as the vice-captain for the Test team which went on to defeat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 4-0 in the Test series last month, was dropped unceremoniously from the squad for the ongoing Commonwealth Bank series, and was replaced by Matthew Wade, who has since gone on to display some outstanding skills with the bat and behind the wickets. While the 34-year-old has been included in the ODI squad, it remains to be seen whether he will make his way into the playing XI.
George Bailey, T20 captain, will also be serving as a reserve batsman for the one-day squad, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Christian-c1308, and Clint McKay.
All-rounder Shane Watson will be serving as vice-captain in both formats, and will be joined by veteran batsman Michael Hussey in the T20 arena. While Peter Forrest has been included in the squad for the shortest format through sheer weight of runs in the on-going tri-series, he might not be featuring in the playing XI.
“Shane Watson and Mike Hussey come back into the T20 squad to provide a great deal of experience and power to the batting line-up,” Inverarity said. “Though Peter Forrest is in the T20 squad, it is not anticipated he will be in the team and is there as back-up.”
