"t20i"

"There are shorter boundaries here and we had a good game last time. For the bowling line-up as well we wanted to be more professional and test ourselves," skipper Virat Kohli said.

Wade took over the captaincy reins for the second T20 against India here on Sunday after Aaron Finch picked up an injury in the opening game in Canberra.

India chased down the target in 19.4 overs overs with Hardik Pandya remaining not out on 42 off just 22 balls.

The match is the second in the three-game T20 series and follows the ODI series, won 2-1 by the Australians.

All-rounder Ben Stokes assisted Bairstow with a 27 ball 37 as visitors sealed the first match by five wickets.

"It was a difficult decision for Kane to make but one which has the complete support of the selectors and the entire playing squad," CA national selector Trevor Hohns said on Wednesday.

All-rounder Chase has so far played 35 Test matches, scoring five centuries and collecting three five-wicket hauls with his off-spin bowling.

All squad members, apart from the players participating in the ongoing Indian Premier League in the UAE, assembled in Barbados on Tuesday.

The rankings table sees Australia and England retain the top two positions, their points tally remaining 291 and 280, respectively.
