Shaun Tait recalled to Australia squad for India T20s

SYDNEY (AP) Fast bowler Shaun Tait has been recalled by Australia after an absence of almost five years for the three-match Twenty20 series against India later this month.

The 32-year-old Tait last played for Australia at the World Cup in India in 2011, but has earned his recall after taking 10 wickets in eight matches for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League.

Uncapped fast bowler Andrew Tye was also included in the 17-man squad named on Monday as the Australia selectors consider options ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in India in March.

Tye has taken 13 wickets in eight matches for the Perth Scorchers at an economy rate of 6.79.
