Christian has been brought into the Australian squad for the two Twenty20 matches against the West Indies at Hobart and Sydney on Sunday and Tuesday.

Gillespie believes that with Twenty20 being Christian's strength, his influence could really pull a great deal more interest from the Aborigine community in Australia who seem to prefer the simpler, faster formats that they can easily take to.

Australia's squad for Twenty20 against West Indies:

Michael Clarke (captain), Cameron White, Travis Birt, Daniel Christian, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, David Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Shaun Marsh, Dirk Nannes, Steven Smith, Shaun Tait, David Warner, Shane Watson
