Alex Carey has been great in the big bash and Handscomb isn't available like most of the test squad

David Warner was the only one selected in both squads and CA said that was due to the fact they wanted a strong leadership team in Warner and Finch

Carey is the second highest run scorer in BBL07 and sits second for most dismissals
