Hogg, Maxwell in Australia squad for World T20


Australia have included uncapped the offspinning allrounder Glenn Maxwell and veteran spinner Brad Hogg, who originally retired from international cricket four years ago, before storming back into contention riding on the Big Bash League performance last summer in a 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC World Twenty starting next month in Sri Lanka..



Australia's pace department would be taken care of by Pat Cummins, Clint McKay, Ben Hilfenhaus and Mitchell Starc along with the allrounder Shane Watson and Daniel Christian while Xavier Doherty will form a three-man spin contingent along with Hogg and Maxwell.

However, the inclusion of Cameron White in the squad will give the Australians more options in the middle-order with other players being the skipper George Bailey, Mike and David Hussey.

Squad: George Bailey (c), Shane Watson, Dan Christian, Patrick Cummins, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhaus, Brad Hogg, David Hussey, Mike Hussey, Glenn Maxwell, Clint McKay, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Cameron White
