Veteran all-rounder Dan Christian has been called by Australia’s national selection panel for the upcoming white-ball tour of the Caribbean and Bangladesh amid concerns that ‘bubble fatigue’ could lead to a raft of big names making themselves unavailable. Alongside Christian, Ben McDermott, Cameron Green, Ashton Turner, Wes Agar, and Nathan Ellis have been added to the initial squad, which now numbers 29 and will be trimmed ahead of the team’s departure for the Caribbean in late June. Christian had last played for Australia in a T20I matches against India in Ranchi in 2017. The all-rounder has played 19 ODIs and 16 T20Is for Australia
