Last Updated 23 January 2012, 17:26 IST

Australia dumped Cameron White, and made George Bailey captain of the team for two Twenty20 matches against India in Sydney and Melbourne.

Australia have also recalled chinaman bowler Brad Hogg, who had retired from international cricket four years ago during India’s last visit here.

Commenting on the squad, National Selector John Inverarity said: “Australia's T20 Team has been ranked a disappointing 6th in ICC Rankings. It is considered that the team needs refreshment and a number of changes have been made.

The NSP has been discussing this T20 squad for about six weeks, and has unanimously decided on the squad, the captain and the vice-captain. The selectors consider this to be a very well balanced T20 squad and look forward to the team acquitting itself very well.”

T20 squad: George Bailey (capt), David Warner (vice-capt), Travis Brit, Dan Christian, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Brad Hogg, David Hussey, Brett Lee, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Clint McKay, Matthew Wade.
