- Cricket Australia denies Nine Network will have say on selection
Guardian
- ? Broadcaster has five-year deal with Cricket Australia? Nine's managing director concerned over rotation policyCricket Australia has denied claims from the Nine Network that the broadcaster will be able to influence the national team's selection policy as part of the deal between the two parties.Jeffrey Browne, Nine Network's managing director, expressed concern over Australia's rotation policy and said the tactic was a real worry.Last year that balance was skewed too much in favour of resting some players so from now on there will be a lot more discussion between [Cricket Australia] and the broadcaster about that, the Australian newspaper quoted Browne as saying.He added that it was legitimate to give players a break to give them longevity in their careers but they also understand we've got to have the best players on the paddock to rate.Browne said the strongest team should be picked as a matter of course: I understand why sports want to do that but people at home want to see the best players playing and we urge Cricket Australia to pick the best players every time.However the Cricket Australia CEO, James Sutherland, issued a statement rebutting Browne's claim. Cricket has a long-standing and successful relationship with the Nine Network but team selections and scheduling are matters for Cricket Australia, said Sutherland. The National Selection Panel selects the Australian teams. With the volume of international cricket being played, it will continue to be necessary for us to manage player workloads appropriately.We'll continue to consult with our broadcasters on scheduling issues. It's something we have always done. We have a common goal with our broadcast partners to maximise the number of fans watching and enjoying cricket. We'll consider all ideas and then make the appropriate decisions.Nine agreed a deal to broadcast Australian cricket for the next five years earlier this month. Cricket Australia is estimated to earn $450m from the package.Australia cricket teamCricketAustralia sportTelevision industryThe AshesAshes 2013Tom Lutzguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

- Ashes 2013: Odds lengthen on Australia calling up spinner Fawad Ahmed
- ? Leg-spinner named in A team to tour Africa in mid-July? Pat Cummins due to make latest comeback this weekAustralia have added to the intrigue that was already swirling around their Pakistan-born leg-spin contender Fawad Ahmed by including him in the squad for their A-team's tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa that coincides with most of the Ashes series.The 31-year-old, who claimed refuge in Australia three years ago, is awaiting Australian citizenship, and the chairman of selectors John Inverarity confirmed earlier this week that it is expected to come through before the first Test against England starting at Trent Bridge on July 10.But the suspicion that Australia do not have any intention of thrusting Fawad straight into an Ashes series has been reinforced by his inclusion in the A-squad - although Inverarity insisted that he could yet come into contention.Fawad is currently in Bristol with the A team preparing for a three-day game against Gloucestershire that starts on Friday, having bowled only a few overs on his first appearance of the trip against Ireland, admittedly in unhelpfully damp conditions.The Bristol game may well be his last chance to make an impression before Inverarity and the rest of Australia's selectors must choose whether to keep him in England with the Ashes squad, or send him to Africa with the A-team - and the latter must be the more likely scenario at this stage.On announcing Fawad's inclusion in the A-squad alongside Ashton Agar, another spinner of whom Australia have high hopes, Inverarity said: Those two are, in a sense, in contention if we decide to expand the Ashes squad and expand it with a spinner.But he had admitted in an interview with BBC radio during Australia's defeat by Sri Lanka in the Champions Trophy on Monday that throwing Fawad straight into the deep end of an Ashes series would be a major risk.He will be considered for selection - no more than that, Inverarity said. If we select him for the Ashes team the amount of pressure on him is going to be extraordinary. He's shown signs of great maturity, but it's going to be extremely difficult.Perhaps of greater long-term significance for Australian cricket is the news that Pat Cummins, the young New South Wales fast bowler who has suffered a series of injury problems since making a stunning Test debut in South Africa almost two years ago, is due to make his latest comeback this week.Cummins has been training with the A-squad, but he has stayed in Belfast rather than flown to Bristol and was due to return in a low-profile fixture between the Northern Ireland Cricket Association and the MCC.He could also join the A-squad in Africa, although he has not been included at this stage. But Australia have talked down his prospects of playing in the Ashes, suggesting that the return series in Australia this winter is much more likely.Australia A squad for Africa tour: Steve Smith (capt), Aaron Finch (vice-capt), Ashton Agar, Fawad Ahmed, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Alex Doolan, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Nic Maddinson, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine, Gurinder Sandhu, Chadd Sayers.Ashes 2013CricketThe AshesAustralia sportAndy Wilsonguardian.co.uk © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
