Brad Haddin, Shane Watson, David Warner named in NSW Sheffield Shield side Brad Haddin and Shane Watson will turn out for NSW on Tuesday. BRAD Haddin looks certain to play the first Test against India after being named captain of a star-studded New South Wales side for this week's Sheffield Shield clash with South Australia. Haddin missed the one-day series against South Africa as he recovered from a shoulder injury picked up during the Test series against Pakistan in the UAE, and there were fears he wouldn't recover in time for the Gabba Test that starts on December 4. But the veteran "keeper will squeeze in a hit out with the Blues before potentially leading his country if Michael Clarke isn't fit in time to face the Indians. Brad Haddin will captain the Blues against South Australia. Clarke wasn't named in the NSW side as he continues his recovery from a hamstring strain, with the 33-year-old hopeful of playing for grade side Western Suburbs next weekend. Wests" decision to declare on 0-17 on Saturday, in order to give Clarke a chance of batting next weekend, caused an uproar in the Sydney Grade scene. Fellow Test stars David Warner, Shane Watson, Steve Smith, Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc were all included in the 12-man Blues squad. Former Wallabies hooker Adam Freier discusses Michael Clarke's persistent hamstring injury, which he believes is caused by the Australian captain's bad back. Pace bowler Josh Hazlewood has been omitted "due to Cricket Australia workload management," in a sure fire sign the young pace bowler will be named in the Aussie Test squad that is announced on Monday. Young bowler Gurinder Sandhu and wicketkeeper Peter Nevill - who will play as a specialist batsman to accommodate Haddin's return - are the only members of the Blues side that haven't played for Australia.
