Kasprowicz Recalled
Tuesday, February 3 2004
Queensland Bulls paceman Michael Kasprowicz has been recalled to the Australian ODI squad in place of teammate Andy Bichel for the VB Series Finals.
31-year-old Kasprowicz is arguably enjoying his best season at domestic level for the Bulls, netting a total of 31 wickets at less than 20 a piece.
His elevation signals the demotion of close friend Bichel, who has struggled for form for much of the summer.
His wickets in the VB Series have come at over 64 a piece, and he was earlier dropped for the Test side.
The 33-year-old faces an uphill battle to regain his place in the ODI squad.
Michael Hussey has lost out to Simon Katich for the final batsman's slot.
The full squad is:
R Ponting ©, A Gilchrist, M Hayden, D Martyn, A Symonds, M Clarke, S Katich, I Harvey, B Hogg, B Lee, M Kasprowicz, B Williams, J Gillespie.
Meanwhile, under-fire batsman Damien Martyn has been reprimanded by Cricket Australia after he gave the finger to a cameraman early in the week.
