Wade urged to work as hard as Healy

Justin Langer, who coached Australia during this month's ODI tri-series, says Matthew Wade could become the nation's top keeper.

Justin Langer has urged Matthew Wade to do Ian Healy-like hard yards with the gloves, saying he is capable of becoming Australia's premier wicketkeeper.

Wade and Peter Nevill have been locked in an intriguing selection showdown since Brad Haddin's retirement last year.

Wade is in the ODI side on account of his batting and this week shored up his spot with a crucial unbeaten half-century in Australia's tri-series final win over West Indies and Langer says he can build on that success.
