SYDNEY - Paceman James Pattinson and offspinner Nathan Lyon were Wednesday left out of Australia’s provisional 30-man squad for the World T20 in Sri Lanka.

Offspinning allrounder Glenn Maxwell and left-handed batsman Rob Quiney, who have no international experience, were the big winners.
“A great deal of flamboyant cricketing talent will be on display and some games will be turned on their heads by 10 minutes of brilliance. The squad announced today is full of talent, enterprise and all-round strength.
Maxwell’s selection came as no surprise after being picked for the series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in early September.
But the choice of Quiney, 29, is more unexpected. He made the grade after a decent Big Bash League season where he averaged more than 30 with the bat.
The tournament starts on September 18. Australia, runners-up in 2010 to England in Barbados, face Ireland and the West Indies in Group B.
A final squad of 15 is due to be named by August 18. G Bailey, Travis Birt, D Christian, Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, J Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Ryan Harris, Ben Hilfenhaus, Brad Hogg, D Hussey, MHussey, M Johnson, Ben Laughlin, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, A McDonald, Clint McKay, Dirk Nannes, Stephen O’Keefe, Tim Paine, Rob Quiney, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
