Bollinger named in Test squad to face Windies

MELBOURNE, Australia, CMC – Australia’s selectors have called up left-arm pace bowler Doug Bollinger in a 12-man squad to face West Indies in the opening Test next Thursday at the Gabba.

The 28-year-old’s inclusion for just the second Test of his career is the only change to the squad named for the final Ashes Test against England in August.

His selection means there is no place for Stuart Clark, a change chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said had been a difficult one to make. Squad:Ricky Ponting (captain), Doug Bollinger, Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Marcus North, Peter Siddle and Shane Watson.
