Matthew Wade dropped from Australia's Test tour of South Africa

Wicket-keeper batsman Matthew Wade has been eliminated from the squad for upcoming Australia’s tour South Africa. However, the 33-year-old will be representing his side against New Zealand in the T20 format. Wade has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Twenty20 team to tour New Zealand. The wicket-keeper batsman was the significant exclusion from the Test squad because of the simultaneous tours. The management opted to go with the in-form South Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey for the three-Test tour next month.
