Shaun Tait added to Aussie squad for next two ODIs

Sydney, Jan 29 (UNI) Shaun Tait was today added to Australia's 13-member ODI squad for the coming two matches against New Zealand and England in the ongoing tri-series.

Chairman of Australia's National selection Panel, Andrew Hilditch said Tait has been added in view of the upcoming World Cup and the selectors want to give the bowler a chance to prove his worth.

Australia will take on New Zealand tomorrow and then face off against England on February 2.

''We are taking the opportunity to add Shaun Tait with a view to looking at him ahead of Cricket World Cup squad selection. These next two games form the final opportunity to look at him ahead of World Cup squad selection,'' the chief selector said in a statement.

''Ben Hilfenhaus performed well earlier in the series and at that point Shaun was injured. Shaun has made an impressive return from injury and we want to take a further look at him in the international environment,'' he added.
