I think that the squad is 16 players - didn't it used to be 17 for longer tours such as this one? Clearly Brad Hodge has done something behind the scenes for the selectors to constantly reject him. Agree with yesterday's comment that Phil Jacques should be in the team - did nothing wrong apart from get injured after he scored a century.
