It started with Brad Haddin being rested for the ODI series.
This was followed by Mickey Arthur stating Brad was still in long term plans, followed by Brad stating he felt he had been dropped.
This was then met with Matthew Wade being given his opportunity while Brad was rested.
He impressed with immediate impact in the T20s and ODIs, especially with his agility and speed behind the stumps.
