Shaun Tait staged a comeback after an injury hiatus, but Stuart Clark failed to make the cut as Australia on Tuesday announced a 13-member squad for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy one-day series starting in Adelaide on December 14.

“After making a huge impact at the World Cup earlier this year, Shaun Tait has been brought back into the squad after having fully recovered from (the elbow) injury,” chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said. Andrew Symonds and James Hopes were retained after their show against India.

Squad:  Ricky Ponting (captain), Adam Gilchrist (vice-captain), Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hogg, James Hopes, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Andrew Symonds Shaun Tait.
