Sydney: The Cricket Australia (CA) National Selection Panel (NSP) has today announced a 12-player squad for the two KFC T20 International matches against Sri Lanka to be played in Sydney and Melbourne across the Australia Day long weekend.
Australia announced a 12-man squad Monday for two Twenty20 internationals against Sri Lanka later this month.
Commenting on the squad, National Selector John Inverarity said: "The NSP has named a talented and exciting squad of 12 players for the two KFC T20 INTL matches against Sri Lanka."
This squad includes six players who were not in the ICC World T20 squad in September.
Each of these six, Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Adam Voges, Ben Cutting, James Faulkner and Ben Laughlin have shown outstanding form in the T20 format over the past two months. Their performances have been compelling and we anticipate they will take this momentum into the two fixtures scheduled for 26 and 28 January. All except Ben Cutting have represented Australia in T20s previously.
Aaron Finch was the player of the tournament in the KFC T20 Big Bash League, while Shaun Marsh finished as the highest run-scorer with 412 runs.
Ben Laughlin bowled cleverly to take the most number of wickets, 14, while Ben Cutting was second highest wicket-taker with 13 at a very good economy rate.
