Australia's loss to England in the first of two Twenty20 matches in Adelaide a couple of days ago with both Brett Lee and Shaun Tait in the line-up, has led to doubts about both being selected for next month's World Cup in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

There is also a view that Victorian all-rounder David Hussey must do more to ensure himself a place in the 15-man World Cup squad, to be announced next week.

According to the Daily Telegraph, tonight's T20 match in Melbourne and the first one-day game of the seven-match series against England, at the MCG on Sunday, will double as World Cup trial matches.
