Symonds in Australia's Twenty20 squad April 03, 2009 16:14 IST Last Updated: April 03, 2009 16:22 IST Troubled Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds [Images] has been included in a preliminary squad for this year's Twenty20 [Images] World Cup in England [Images]. The national selectors named Symonds in a 30-man squad, that will be reduced to 15 before the tournament, after they were given the all-clear to consider him. Symonds has been receiving counselling after a series of off-field incidents resulted in him being ruled out for selection until his behaviour improved. "We are satisfied he is committed to doing the things needed of an Australia [Images]n international cricketer," Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said in a statement. Shaun Tait [Images], Shane Watson [Images], Brett Lee [Images] and Shaun Marsh [Images] were also named in the squad despite currently recovering from injuries. Australia squad: Nathan Bracken [Images], Michael Clarke [Images], Callum Ferguson, Brett Geeves, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, Shane Harwood, Nathan Hauritz [Images], Aaron Heal, Moises Henriques, Ben Hilfenhaus [Images], Brad Hodge, James Hopes [Images], David Hussey [Images], Michael Hussey [Images], Mitchell Johnson [Images], Jason Krejza [Images], Ben Laughlin, Brett Lee, Graham Manou, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting [Images], Rob Quiney, Peter Siddle [Images], Andrew Symonds, Shaun Tait, Adam Voges, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
