Australia also retained Simon Katich while discarding Western Australian Michael Hussey, who had replaced the injured Michael Bevan in their match against India in Perth last Sunday. Trevor Hohns, Chairman of National Selection Panel, said Bichel paid for his poor form while Kasprowicz returned to one-day international action following his role in Australia's success at the 2003 TVS Cup in India. "It is fair to say that Bichel has not been bowling as well as we would like, and we feel that a spell at state-level might help him recapture his form. The decision to leave Andy out of the side was a judgement call that we had to make. "Michael Kasprowicz deserves this opportunity. We were impressed with his work on the recent one-day tour of India, and his performances for Queensland over a long period of time have been first-class," Hohns said. Kasprowicz has taken 11 wickets in the ING Cup this summer at an average of 15.81, claiming his season's-best figures of 4-19 against the Tasmanian Tigers at Bellerive Oval on January 26. Australia squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist (vice-captain), Michael Clarke, Jason Gillespie, Ian Harvey, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hogg, Michael Kasprowicz, Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds and Brad Williams. in-depth coverage > India in Australia 2003-04 > |
