Cricket Australia’s National Selection Panel (NSP) today announced a 17-man squad for the upcoming Vodafone Ashes Series against England with the first Test beginning on 25 November in Brisbane.
The 17 man squad is:
Ricky Ponting (c),
Michael Clarke (vc)
Doug Bollinger
Xavier Doherty
Callum Ferguson
Brad Haddin
Ryan Harris
Nathan Hauritz
Mike Hussey
Ben Hilfenhaus
Mitchell Johnson
Simon Katich
Usman Khawaja
Marcus North
Peter Siddle
Steven Smith
Shane Watson
NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said:
Australia have named their squad for next week's first Ashes Test, but their starting line-up is no clearer. Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle, Usman Khawaja, Callum Ferguson and Xavier Doherty were all included in a bloated 17-man squad, which was even bigger than England's touring party for the whole series.
The selectors will trim the squad to 12 or 13 men after this week's round of Sheffield Shield matches and the Australia A game against England.
