Tait's Top End Call

Thursday, June 10 2004

South Australian speedster Shaun Tait has been named in a predictable 13-man Australian squad to take on Sri Lanka in the winter Test series.

Tait replaced an injured Brett Lee in Australia's successful tour to Sri Lanka earlier in the year and following the back troubles faced by Brad Williams, selectors opted for the 13th squad member to cover the pace department.

As expected, Glenn McGrath was selected while Stuart MacGill remains on the outer with Shane Warne the sole spinner in the squad for the Tests in Darwin and Cairns.

The full squad is:

Matthew Hayden
Justin Langer
Damien Martyn
Darren Lehmann
Simon Katich
Adam Gilchrist
Shane Warne
Michael Kasprowicz
Jason Gillespie
Glenn McGrath
Brad Williams
Shaun Tait.
