Skipper Michael Clarke returns to steady Australia

Skipper Michael Clarke came back yesterday to the ODI team to lead Australia after a thrashing by Sri Lanka and an ear-bashing over selection policy from ex- cricketers.

Fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc were also brought back in after being withdrawn as a safety measure to secure niggling minor injuries.

Opener David Warner and keeper Matthew Wade completed the list of massive guns returning after a rest for the 3rd and 4th ODIs in Brisbane on Friday and Sydney on Sunday. National selector John Inverarity also revealed Moises Henriques as the most recent newbie to get his chance.

“Moises Henriques also comes into the squad as a genuine all-rounder whose bowling will be suited to conditions often found at the Gabba,” Iverarity said.
