Australia have announced their 30 player probables' list for the T20 World Cup. The surprise exclusion is right-arm fast bowler James Pattinson.

"The ICC World Twenty20 will be a fiercely contested tournament. A great deal of flamboyant cricketing talent will be on display and some games will be turned on their heads by 10 minutes of brilliance. The squad announced today is full of talent, enterprise and all-round strength," national selector John Inverarity said.

"Within the 30 players named is depth and cover for all departments within the team," he added.

Squad: George Bailey, Travis Birt, Dan Christian, Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Ryan Harris, Ben Hilfenhaus, Brad Hogg, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Ben Laughlin, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Andrew McDonald, Clint McKay, Dirk Nannes, Stephen O'Keefe, Tim Paine, Rob Quiney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.

Apparently only performing against India, isn't much of an achievement to be considered for the T20 World Cup. Though he still has to prove his credentials in the shortest format of the game. The Australian selection policy looks stupid sometimes but it is effective (except the spinners selections). Performance in one format does not guarantee selection in another format.
