Axed Katich slams selectors, confirms Clarke rift

Axed Australia opener Simon Katich hit out at Australia's selectors after being dropped from the list of 25 centrally contracted players for next season.

The 35-year-old was overlooked with Cricket Australia and said: "I think the decision was absolutely ridiculous."

He was also open about the rift that he has with new captain Michael Clarke.
