Tasmanian wicketkeeper/batsman Matthew Wade is frustrated with a lack of communication from Australian selectors, despite his strong batting form at State level.

Wade has dominated the Sheffield Shield this season, topping the run scorers list with 571 runs at an average of 63.44 with one ton and five half-centuries.

Australian legend Michael Hussey believes Wade should be considered by the selectors as a specialist batsman due to brilliant domestic form.

However the former international keeper has not heard from the Australian selectors since he was dumped from the Test and ODI sides back in 2017.

“I’ve still got the desire to play Test cricket,” Wade told SEN Breakfast.

“I suppose once I got dropped I had to work out what was going to drive me and I think just trying to be the best player I can possibly be is what I’ve been focusing on over the last 12 months.

“I haven’t heard a word from the selectors from the moment I got dropped. I had probably two 50-second conversations when I got dropped from the Test and ODI team and that was 18 months ago, and I haven’t heard one word since.

Matthew Wade has dominated for the Tigers this season.

“That’s how it is in the cricket world, you don’t hear from selectors unless you’re either getting dropped or you’re getting picked.

“It would have been nice to hear more from them but they haven’t got a lot to say to players I don’t reckon.”

Wade has played 22 Tests for Australia, scoring 886 runs at an average of 28.58 with two centuries along with 74 dismissals with the gloves.
