Australia Test squad against India


Australia have announced 17-man test squad for the upcoming four-Test series against India. The tour will start with two warm-up games on February 12-13 and February 16-18 in Chennai.


"It is a large squad and we felt as though we needed that for flexibility," John Inverarity, the national selector, said. "We're certainly looking for a right-arm finger-spinner and a left-arm finger-spinner. Xavier [Doherty] has been bowling very well lately. The four contenders for that position [were] Jon Holland, Michael Beer, Xavier Doherty and Stephen O'Keefe. Two of those [Holland and Beer] are injured and we preferred Xavier Doherty to Stephen O'Keefe."

Australia Test squad: David Warner, Ed Cowan, Michael Clarke (capt), Usman Khawaja, Moises Henriques, Mitchell Johnson, Phillip Hughes, Shane Watson, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Steven Smith, Matthew Wade (wk), Peter Siddle, Jackson Bird, Glenn Maxwell, Xavier Doherty, Nathan Lyon.
