"Matthew Wade will keep for Australia tomorrow in his first international in his hometown of Hobart since 2014 as he jostles with the in-form Josh Inglis to be the preferred gloveman ahead of June's T20 World Cup.
National men's selection chair George Bailey admitted last month the keeping spot was "still up for grabs" after naming both Wade and Inglis in the squad for the three-match Dettol T20I series against the West Indies.
While Wade has kept in the 51 T20 matches he's played for Australia since September 2021, he revealed he's unsure who will take the gloves beyond the first T20 at Bellerive Oval on Friday.
Inglis impressed during his elevation to the top of the order in the preceding ODI series against the Windies with scores of 65 off 43 balls and 35 not out of 16 to help Australia to a 3-0 series sweep.
And with Travis Head and Steve Smith rested for the series and Matt Short injured, it's conceivable Inglis could play as a specialist batter throughout the three matches in Hobart, Adelaide and Perth as Australia attempt to lock down a permanent replacement for former opener Aaron Finch."

"Mitch Marsh returns to captain along with David Warner and Josh Hazlewood after missing the series in India entirely following the ODI World Cup.
Warner found form with 42 last Saturday for his Dubai Capitals after a tough start in the UAE T20 league and ODI opener Josh Inglis appears the most likely partner at the top of the order with Head and Smith rested and Matt Short injured."
