Wicketkeeper-batsman Brad Haddin has endorsed the arrival of Tasmanian quick Brett Geeves following his promotion to Australia's one-day squad for the three-game series against Bangladesh in Darwin.

With bowling spearhead Brett Lee taking time out to deal with his marriage break-up and Adelaide speedster Shaun Tait still not ready to return, Geeves has an opportunity to take the next step if he carries some impressive domestic form into the international arena.

''He's probably been the form bowler in the one-day form of the game so he deserves his opportunity,'' Haddin said.

''Brett led Tasmania to a one-day final last year so he's right for the picking. He's a competitor which is all you can ask for.''

Geeves finished last season as the one-day equal leading wicket-taker with 15 at an average of 25.20.

He was named man-of-the-match in the Tigers' thrilling win in the final and also finished the Pura Cup with 37 wickets.

''It doesn't get any better than this,'' the 26-year-old right-hander said of his call-up to the national one-day squad.

''I'm up here learning from the best in Australia and I couldn't ask for any more.''

Haddin, who has recovered from a fractured finger, said the Top End series against Bangladesh was a great opportunity for him to shine. It's his first home series behind the stumps since Adam Gilchrist retired.

''It's the first time I've had the opportunity to keep in Australia since Adam [Gilchrist] retired,'' he said.

''I'm jumping at the bit to have an opportunity to play in front of an Australian crowd.''

With Matthew Hayden out, Haddin could be pushed up the order because of his quick-scoring ability.

''I've been lucky I've batted from one to seven,'' he said as the Australian team completed its two-day camp in Brisbane.

''In the early days it was a little difficult getting used to that. But I think as you get older and you mature more for a personal point of view, I'm not really fussed these days.'' AAP
