ICC World Cup 2011: Australia announce final 15

ICC World Cup 2011: Australia announce final 15

Australian selectors have chosen the 15-man squad to represent the country in the ICC World Cup 2011.

There are no real surprises in the line-up. Ricky Ponting has been retained as the captain despite his injury as he is expected to recover in time for the tournament.

Exclusion of only two men, Peter Siddle and Xavier Doherty, is perhaps questionable but it is a decision which was expected. The selectors have also opted for the Victoria all-rounder John Hastings.

Australia have also decided to include the injured Michael Hussey in the squad. Hussey’s participation in the World Cup is clouded by uncertainty after he underwent a hamstring surgery.

The left-handed batsmen picked up the injury while batting in the first One Day International against England on Sunday. If Hussey fails to recover for the tournament, the Australian selectors have the option of replacing the middle-order batsman with someone else.

PCB Announce 30-member Initial Squad for ICC World Cup 2011

Selection Committee of (PCB) Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the initial squad of 30 players for the ICC World Cup 2011.

Shoaib Malik and Danish Kaneria failed to break into the probables whereas wicket-keeper batsman Kamran Akmal and former captain Mohammad Yousuf were included in the squad.

According to the sources, Shoaib Malik and Danish Kaneria were not successfully able to declare their assets and as a result the selection committee did not get the clearance from the PCB for both players. But Kamran Akmal did declare his assets and that was the reason why he has been named in the initial world cup squad.

Shoaib Malik has performed exceptionally well in the ongoing Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2010-11 Division One as he scored 725 runs in only four matches with an extraordinary average of more than 120 runs per innings. Pakistan cricket fans would be very disappointed as they were hoping that Shoaib Malik would be able to make it to the national team.
