Tim 'The Curry Lover' Paine off to India.



Tim Paine will need to pack plenty of cans of Baked Beans in his suitcase because he is off to the subcontinent for the second time in 6 months.

Tim has been named as the wicketkeeper in a 13-man squad to represent the Commonwealth Bank Centre of Excellence (CBCE) and Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) on the tour of India. The team will play matches against an Indian Academy side and two state teams in late July and the first half of August.

The 13 squad members have been selected from the 26 players who just completed a 13-week programme at the Cricket Academy in Brisbane. Bennett King will coach the side to India. The team departed Brisbane on Sunday 25th July 2004.

The squad members are Tom Plant, Craig Simmons, Travis Birt, Ryan Broad, Adam Voges (capt), Jason Krezja, Matthew Harrison, Tim Paine (wk), Daniel Cullen, Brad Knowles, Darren McNees, Doug Bollinger and Brendan Drew.

We wish Tim all the best on the tour and we will follow his progress closely while he is away.
