SYDNEY:
Simon Katich’s Test career appears over after he was left out of Cricket Australia’s (CA) contracted players’ list for 2011-12. The opener and Marcus North were the notable omissions from the list, released by CA. “The selectors felt it was the right time to start preparing our next opening partnership for the Ashes,” said Chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch.
