It becomes bad to worse for Brad Haddin – Cricket News Update
The future of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, which starts on April 17 in Barbados.
Australia is currently in the West Indies for a tour and after playing a five match One Day International series, they will take on the Caribbean side in a Test match series. This opens the door for Matthew Wade, who is the first choice keeper for limited
overs for Australia, to make his Test debut next month. Last week Australian selector http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rodney-William-Marsh-c86419 had endorsed Haddin as the first choice for the longer format of the game, when he said, "But if I wanted to place a punt on it, I would have Haddin will play in
the first Test match, as he should, and we'll wait and see what happens after that."
Prior to the first ODI, Haddin had flown back home. In a statement released yesterday, CA cited ‘family reasons’ for the wicketkeeper’s decision of not joining back.
"Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Howard-c63371, who made this statement after receiving confirmation that Haddin
will not be joining back.
Haddin’s position in the team had been precarious of late and he was overlooked in favour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933 for the Commonwealth Bank tri-series in Australia, after the conclusion of the Test match series against the visiting Indian team. At that moment he
had said that his career looks to be over but his position in the Test squad was secured.
If Matthew Wade impresses like he has done in the limited overs format, it is unlikely Haddin will be able to force his way back into the Australian team, and age is also against him as he turns 35 before Australia play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at home, by the end of
the year.
In his cricketing career so far, Haddin has played 43 Test matches, scoring 2257 runs, while collecting 164 dismissals behind the stumps. In 93 ODI matches, he has scored 2511 runs, and has 136 victims to his name behind the wickets.
