After a controversial and a disappointing tour Aussies are on the verge of touring the West Indies. With the retirement of Adam Gilchrist it is most obvious that Brad Haddin will take his place. The aussie selectors had to go in for a few new faces as well as old ones. There were many inclusions in the squad to tour the carribeans. In the Test squad Simon Katich earned him a spot after an excellent Pura Cup scoring a mammoth 1506 runs at an average of 95.14, which was a world record beating the record held by Michael Bevan. Beau Casson was the spinner who was included as the follow up for MacGill. Casson is the left arm spinner from New South Wales who picked up 29 wickets in the Pura Cup at an average of 35 and also chipped in with some useful contributions with the bat with 485 runs at an average of 60. The other inclusion to the Test squad is the all-rounder Ashley Noffke. The inclusions in the one day squad are Hussey's brother David Hussey and Western Australian Shaun Marsh. Cameron White has also been included due to his recent form in the Pura cup matches.
Test squad Matthew Hayden, Phil Jaques, Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Simon Katich, Brad Haddin (wk), Ashley Noffke, Beau Casson, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark, Stuart MacGill, Ben Hilfenhaus.
