Australia name Seccombe to play MCC
Australia named reserve wicketkeeper Wade Seccombe in their team for a three-day tour match against the MCC starting on Monday at Arundel.
Seccombe will take the gloves for the first time on the tour to allow Adam Gilchrist, man-of-the-match in Saturday's triangular series tournament final victory over Pakistan, to rest before the first of five tests against England starting next week.
Batsmen Michael Slater, Justin Langer and Simon Katich, and off-spinner Colin Miller were also named in the side after joining up with the squad for the Ashes series.
Australia team: Steve Waugh (captain), Michael Slater, Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Damien Martyn, Simon Katich, Wade Seccombe, Shane Warne, Colin Miller, Damien Fleming, Jason Gillespie.
