Steven Smith in squad for final ODI
The CA has announced that Steven Smith has been added to Australia's squad for Friday's final match against West Indies.
Smith and wicket-keeper Brad Haddin come into the squad for Mike Hussey, Nathan Hauritz and Tim Paine. Hussey and Hauritz are having their workloads managed ahead of the upcoming VB Tour of New Zealand.
Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) Chairman Andrew Hilditch said, "With the Commonwealth Bank Series won, the NSP has decided to give Mike Hussey and Nathan Hauritz the final match of series off in order to prepare for the upcoming VB Tour of New Zealand.
"Both Mike and Nathan have been significant contributors to the success of the team this summer and managing their workloads now will ensure they are well-prepared for what lies ahead."
"It's been an exciting season already for Steven Smith and he thoroughly deserves this opportunity in Australia's one-day international squad."
