Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne is not happy with the Australian squad that has been picked for the three-match ODI series against India, and has slammed the selectors for their 'ridiculous' decisions. Australia have named a 14-member squad that has Peter Siddle, Usman Khawaja and Nathan Lyon, with the likes of D'Arcy Short and Chris Lynn being left out.

"Just saw the Aust ODI squad that was announced & was absolutely staggered at some of the players that were left out & some of the inclusions - they don't make any sense whatsoever. These ridiculous selections must stop in all forms of Australian cricket - end of!" Warne tweeted.

"I cannot believe that D'Arcy Short has been left out of the side. I don't know what he's done wrong. He can bowl and his batting at the top is dynamic. He's in terrific form, and he and Finch make an awesome partnership at the top," Warne was quoted as saying by foxsports.com.au.
