Rookie Victorian spinner included in Oz squad for ODI tour of India | Victorian finger spinner Jon Holland has been included in the Australian
cricket squad to play India. The 22-year-old left-armer has been given an opportunity
after playing just six first class games for his state. Back in the 15-man squad
is opening batsman Shaun Marsh, who has recovered from a hamstring injury for
the seven-match one-day series which starts later in this month. South Australian
Callum Ferguson has been left out after injuring his knee in the Champions Trophy
final against New Zealand. Ferguson has undergone scans of his knee but the full
extent of the damage is still to be determined. Also out of the one-day squad
while they recover from injuries are vice-captain Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken
and first choice wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. Tim Paine will continue behind the
stumps after taking the gloves for the Champions Trophy. Chairman of selectors
Andrew Hilditch said the panel was keen to have a left-arm finger spinner like
Holland in the squad, especially in India. "He's the type of bowler we think can
do well in Indian conditions," he said. Australia: Ricky Ponting (c), Michael
Hussey (vc), Doug Bollinger, Nathan Hauritz, Jon Holland, Ben Hilfenhaus, James
Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh, Tim Paine, Peter Siddle, Adam
Voges, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
