Australian cricket legend Mark Waugh has taken aim at the selectors for not selecting batting veteran Steve Smith in the initial squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, calling it "the most baffling non-selection" and an insult to the senior batter.
"I could pick someone from England but I'd say Mark Waugh," Hussain said.
Steve Waugh made his Test debut in 1985 while Mark interestingly made his debut in 1991 in place of his brother.
The right-handed batsman's impeccable form suggests that he is likely to make his ODI debut in the upcoming three-match series in India.
According to Waugh, teams visiting Australia need to have a spinner who can get wickets.
Australia named a 17-man squad for the five-Test series against England on Friday, with opener Cameron Bancroft recalled alongside Steve Smith and David Warner.
The World Cup will begin with the opening match between hosts England and South Africa on May 30.
Waugh is an ODI and T20I selector and forms part of the national selection panel.
