McGrath named in 11

Glenn McGrath returns to the Australian team for the first time since last summer after being named to play the West Indies in the DLF Cup opener in Malaysia tomorrow.

McGrath will be playing for Australia for the first time since opting out of the South Africa tour earlier this year to be with his wife during her third battle with cancer.

Other notable inclusions are openers Simon Katich and Phil Jaques, with usual opener Adam Gilchrist remaining at home, and youngsters Dan Cullen, Mitchell Johnson and Mark Cosgrove also being included.
