Australia name squad to play Pakistan
SYDNEY, May 17: Australia’s cricket selectors named a 13-man squad Friday to face Pakistan in a three-game limited-overs series in June.
There were no surprises in the squad with Ricky Ponting named captain and Adam Gilchrist his deputy.
The selectors stuck with the same players who featured in Australia’s 5-1 series win over South Africa earlier this year although all-rounder Ian Harvey and off-spinner Nathan Hauritz were cut from the 15-man squad that toured South Africa .
The first two matches will be played indoors at Melbourne’s Docklands Stadium on June 12 and 15 with the third match to be held at the Gabba in Brisbane on June 19.
