News: Watson, Bollinger return against Windies

What has come as a bright sign for Australia before the upcoming series against West Indies is that all-rounder Shane Watson and pacer Doug Bollinger have returned after a brief break for the first two ODIs commencing on February 7.

"The National Selection Panel has named a largely unchanged squad for the opening two Commonwealth Bank Series matches against the West Indies," NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said.

"Two changes have been made from Sunday's match at the WACA, with Shane Watson and Doug Bollinger returning after having their workload managed for the final two matches against Pakistan," he added.

Meanwhile, Adam Voges has been left out of the 13-man squad. Voges was included in the team for the last two ODIs against Pakistan. Ricky Ponting would lead the team with Michael Clarke as his deputy.

"Adam Voges is extremely unlucky to be omitted from the squad after having limited opportunities against Pakistan. However with the returning players and the need to get the right balance in the squad of 13, Adam has unfortunately missed out on this occasion," Hilditch said.

Squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Michael Clarke, Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ryan Harris, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Clint McKay, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
