SYDNEY, JAN 6: Shane Warne is to lead Australia's limited overs team in the absence of injured captain Steve Waugh, his appointment today coming less than a month after admitting involvement in a bookmaking scandal.

The ACB said it would resist calls for the pair to be punished further because the fined them more than four years ago and considered the case closed.

The team: Steve Waugh (captain), Shane Warne, Michael Bevan, Greg Blewett, Adam Dale, Damien Fleming, Adam Gilchrist, Brendon Julian,Darren Lehmann, Glenn McGrath, Damien Martyn, Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh, Brad Young.
