Profile
Brad Haddin had a tough international season at home during 2011/12.
A disappointing Test series with the bat and gloves saw Matthew Wade selected as keeper for Australia during the T20 and ODI series.
The tough times continued when he returned home from the VB Tour of West Indies for personal reasons.
The 2011/12 summer over shadowed what was otherwise a strong year for Haddin in 2011.
He topped the runs list for Australia in the World Cup, finished second in most dismissals and came in third behind Mike Hussey and Shane Watson for most runs in the Vodafone Ashes.
In combination with Mike Hussey, Haddin blazed a sublime century in the Vodafone Ashes Test in Brisbane, keeping the tourists at bay before they stamped their dominance.
He also served one of the longest apprenticeships in the game with more than 5000 first-class runs and 250 dismissals before Adam Gilchrist's retirement forced a change behind the stumps for the first time in nine years.
