Adam Gilchrist -- Automatic (Cappo)
Herschelle Gibbs -- Automatic
Ryan Harris
Mitchell Marsh
Kemar Roach
Dwayne Smith
Andrew Symonds -- Automatic

Dwayne smith had an IPL career when other players were required to be away for country duties.

That's not gonna happen anymore and he is now obsolete

Smith will be so rusty when he returns to the Caribbean, with all this inactivity....

It's just as well he's been omitted from the world 20/20 squad.

Smithy will be back...being on the bench will make him more hungry and force him to perform when the opportunity comes
