The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel (NSP) has announced the 13-man Australia squad to play in games three and four of the Commonwealth Bank Series against the West Indies in Sydney and Brisbane.

Tim Paine and Adam Voges come into the squad for Brad Haddin and Shane Watson, with the pair having their woIrkloads managed ahead of the end of the domestic summer and upcoming VB Tour of New Zealand.

NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said:

"After a busy international summer, and with an upcoming tour of New Zealand in mind, the NSP has taken the opportunity to manage the workloads of Brad Haddin and Shane Watson for the next two matches of the Commonwealth Bank Series.

"Tim Paine and Adam Voges are the players added to the squad. Paine thoroughly deserves another chance behind the stumps for Australia in ODI cricket after playing so well in England, the ICC Champions Trophy and India late last year.

"Voges was unlucky to miss selection for the opening two matches of the Commonwealth Bank Series against the West Indies but now has a chance to press for selection."
