Bevan Passed Fit; Selected for SL
Monday, February 9 2004
Michael Bevan has been passed fit for the ODI section of the tour to Sri Lanka, being named in a largely predictable 15-man squad for the tour.
Bevan missed a large portion of the VB Series with a broken rib suffered in the nets.
The other addition to the 13-man VB Finals squad is that of reserve wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, despite an inept performance behind the stumps in his only match with the gloves.
The selection of a reserve keeper, however, suggests that the National Selection Panel are worried about the workload of incumbent Adam Gilchrist.
Michael Kasprowicz has been selected ahead of Andy Bichel, while Darren Lehmann was also a non-selection.
The full squad is:
