Australia today dropped the out of form duo of Brad Haddin and Shaun Marsh from their 14-member cricket squad for the ODI tri-series against India and Sri Lanka starting on February 5.

Australia won the Test series against India 4-0 and both Marsh and Haddin struggled in it, leading to speculation that they could be dropped. Matthew Wade will replace Haddin behind the stumps but the latter could be called back in the later stages of the series.

"Brad Haddin has come off a heavy program of Test cricket the workload for a wicketkeeper/batsman is rigorous and resting him for the start of the series will refresh him for coming international commitments while also giving us a chance to look at Matt Wade at this level," said National Selector John Inverarity after announcing the squad.
