Why did Tait get a Cricket Australia contract?

Question

Shaun Tait only really plays Twenty20 cricket, so why did the express bowler get a Cricket Australia contract for 2010-11?

Answer 1

Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer, James Sutherland, said: “Shaun Tait has had his contact renewed as we see him as an important member of the ICC World Twenty20 squad and a real chance to force his way back into the Australian 50 over side. At his best he is a powerful weapon in limited overs cricket.”
