Paceman James Pattinson and off-spinner Nathan Lyon were on Wednesday left out of Australia’s provisional 30-man squad for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. Off-spinning all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and left-handed batsman Rob Quiney, who have no international experience, were the big winners. “The ICC World Twenty20 will be a fiercely contested tournament,” said selector John Inverarity. “A great deal of flamboyant cricketing talent will be on display and some games will be turned on their heads by ten minutes of brilliance. The squad announced today is full of talent, enterprise and all-round strength.

But the choice of Quiney, 29, is more unexpected. He made the grade after a decent Big Bash League season where he averaged more than 30 with the bat. The tournament starts on September 18. Australia, runners-up in 2010 to England in Barbados, face Ireland and the West Indies in Group B. A final squad of 15 is due to be named by August 18. From gulfnews
