Sydney, Feb 18(ANI): Cricket Australia (CA) CEO James Sutherland has accepted that the cricket body has done a botched up job of dropping wicketkeeper Brad Haddin's from the ODI side.
He admitted that CA has to improve communication between national selectors and the public after confirming that Haddin had been dropped from the team rather than being rested from the tri-series.
Sutherland said the John Inverarity-led panel needed to raise its game regarding how it broadcast its selections to the public.
"We're not comfortable with the level of uncertainty and public discussion on this particular matter," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Sutherland, as saying.
"If there are things that need to be made clearer in the public place, and they're not, then they're things we need to improve. We owe that to cricket fans and the country. Looking back on it, something clearly has gone awry," he said.
Sutherland said that fast bowler Ryan Harris was not being rested despite Harris' claims earlier this week that he was not injured.
"Ryan Harris is out of the side because he's not fit to perform and I'm not privy to the exact conversations that have been had but there's obviously a combination of things there, as John Inverarity has talked about, but I don't think it's right to say that he's just simply rested because that's just not true," he said.
