Sydney: Michael Clarke has ruled himself out of the Champions League Twenty20 but New South Wales have still been able to name a squad with 10 international players. Simon Katich will captain the 15-man group, which features a world-class attack of Brett Lee, Stuart Clark, Nathan Bracken, Doug Bollinger and Nathan Hauritz.
However, the absence of Clarke, who is likely to become Australia's permanent Twenty20 captain, will disappoint the Blues, who won Australia's domestic competition last summer. Clarke advised New South Wales of his unavailability due to his playing workload with the Australian team.
Brad Haddin was named but his selection is contingent on his recovery from surgery on his finger, and he could yet be replaced by the backup wicketkeeper Daniel Smith. The squad also includes Australia's Twenty20 opener David Warner, the Test opener Phillip Hughes and the young allrounder Moises Henriques, who has played one Twenty20 international.
"The New South Wales squad has an excellent mixture of international experience and talented youngsters," David Gilbert, the Cricket New South Wales chief executive, said. "I am very excited about our prospects going into a tournament that will showcase the New South Wales team on the world stage for the first time."
New South Wales begin their tournament with pool matches against South Africa's Eagles and also Sussex, the county side that boasts Luke Wright, Dwayne Smith and Ed Joyce. The other Australian team that qualified, Victoria, start off in a group with Delhi Daredevils and the Sri Lankan domestic champions Wayamba.
Squad: Simon Katich (capt), David Warner, Phillip Hughes, Brad Haddin (wk), Steven Smith, Dominic Thornely, Ben Rohrer, Moises Henriques, Steve O'Keefe, Brett Lee, Nathan Hauritz, Aaron Bird, Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Doug Bollinger.
