Aust T20 squad announced - Henriques in

Cricket Australia’s National Selection Panel (NSP) today announced a 13-man squad for Sunday’s KFC Twenty20 clash against New Zealand in Sydney.

The 13-man squad is:

Michael Clarke (c) - NSW , 27
Brad Haddin (vc) - NSW , 31
Nathan Bracken - NSW , 31
Callum Ferguson - SA , 24
Moises Henriques - NSW , 22
Ben Hilfenhaus - TAS , 25
James Hopes - QLD , 30
David Hussey - VIC , 31
Mitchell Johnson - WA , 27
Peter Siddle - VIC , 24
Adam Voges - WA , 29
David Warner - NSW , 22
Cameron White - VIC , 25

Commenting on the selected squad NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said:

“The National Selection Panel has again picked a squad for this KFC Twenty20 against New Zealand with a view to continuing the development of our younger players and in preparation for the ICC World Twenty20 to be played in England during June this year.

“Given the high workload of Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey since the Indian Test series in October we have decided, in consultation with these players, it is appropriate they miss this game.

“With a hectic and competitive South African campaign departing the day after this match, we felt this option was best in the interest of the player’s workload management.

“This also provides a wonderful opportunity for Moises Henriques. The NSP regards Moises as an exciting young player with the all-round ability to play a role in the World Twenty20. We recently included him in the PM’s XI match against New Zealand where he played exceptionally well and we are hoping this opportunity will help him to continue his development.

“David Warner also returns to the Australian squad for this Twenty20 match. While David was disappointed to be dropped from the one-day squad, we regard him as an exciting young player who definitely remains in our thoughts for the World Twenty20.”

Oh dear God, the NSP has confirmed their stark-raving-mad status. FMD.

So, to get selected for the t20 side, you don't have to actually have any form in any level of the game? FFS, PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!

I ask again, if TGM has a stellar IPL tournament, can CA pick him for the World t20? As captain? He's never formally retired from international t20.

there seems to be a standard para in hildy pressers

remarkably similar sentences were used for hughes and warner..

i feel very sorry for the warner kiddee...he should be back in grade, piling on runs trying to get into the Dubber shield team...instead the dopes have hauled him out yet again for hit and giggle

i think this is all very entertaining

MH has a similar name to a very early Australian player who was alright in domestic competition but was a total dud in test cricket.

He has a contract with the KKR as a "foreign uncapped player". Anyone know what it is worth, or whether getting a cap jeopardises the contract?

What's Zimmy's contract with the KKK as a foreign hooded player worth?
