Australian squad announced for remaining Commonwealth Bank Series matches, including Finals.
Cricket Australia’s National Selection Panel (NSP) today announced a 13-man squad for the remaining Commonwealth Bank Series matches, including the Finals, which begin at the Gabba on 4 March .
Michael Clarke – Captain (NSW)
Shane Watson – Vice-captain (NSW)
Dan Christian (SA)
Xavier Doherty (TAS)
Peter Forrest (QLD)
Ben Hilfenhaus (TAS)
David Hussey (VIC)
Michael Hussey (WA)
Brett Lee (NSW)
Clint McKay (VIC)
James Pattinson (VIC)
Matthew Wade (VIC)
David Warner (NSW)
National Selector, John Inverarity, said: “James Pattinson is fit again and after impressive recent form in a Futures League match in Adelaide, comes into the squad at expense of Ryan Harris, who has been dropped. Ryan remains strongly in contention for selection for the Test matches on the VB Tour of the West Indies. Michael Clarke is making a good recovery and is likely to resume on Friday. The selectors will consider adding an extra player to this squad for the Commonwealth Bank Series Finals matches, if conditions warrant it.”
