Cricket Australia announces contracted players list
After reaching an agreement with the players, Cricket Australia announced the list of players who have been awarded contracts for the next 12 months. Prominent among those who have not been offered a contract are Darren Lehmann, Ian Harvey and Matthew Elliott. The new faces are Daniel Cullen and Michael Lewis.
It does seem very obvious that the selectors had the 2007 World Cup in mind while deciding the contracts list. There're quite a few players aged under 25 in that list. But the inclusion of 30 year old Michael Lewis is beyond my understanding. He'd be 32-33 in a couple of years' time when McGrath and Kasprowicz leave the scene. Shaun Tait would be the natural permanent inclusion in the fast bowling roster when that happens. I dont really see a career for Lewis, given that he is not a spring chicken.
