Shaun Marsh has been dropped on form, Peter Forrest important to national duty for the first time and Ryan Harris given the chance to resume his ODI career following the announcement of Australia's squad for the triangular ODI series against India and Sri Lanka. Brad Haddin has been rested from the first three matches of the series, his place taken by Matthew Wade. Marsh has been sent back to domestic ranks to find some form with the bat after a wretched Test series against India.
There was no place either for the young NSW allrounder Steve Smith, who will need to think on stronger performances in the Sheffield Shield before he can return, despite his haughty ranking in last year's round of Cricket Australia contracts. "Peter Forrest, Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Wade, Dan Christian and Clint McKay are in form and will have a opportunity to either prove or further prove themselves on the international stage," the national selector John Inverarity said.
"We have not at this stage named a vice-captain for the first three games with Brad resting and Shane Watson still unavailable while he fully his recovery from injury, and will assess that position when the squad assembles. Peter Forrest, in great form for Queensland and also for his BBL side this summer, comes into the group but will remain available for the PM's Xl game in Canberra this Friday, where he is vice-captain to Brad Haddin.
ODI Squad:
Michael Clarke (capt), David Warner, Ricky Ponting, Peter Forrest, Daniel Christian, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Matthew Wade, Brett Lee, Ryan Harris, Mitchell Starc, Xavier Doherty, Clint McKay, Mitchell Marsh.
