Well, I think if they want to experiment, they have to play the new guys. They already know what they'll get with old guys. If Carey keeps failing, they can hit the emergency button and have Wade and Handscomb as the two keeper options. If they had picked Wade in the series just gone, they would have had to be sure they don't want Carey in the short term.
There seems to be some bizarre thinking going on, though. I'm still trying to recover from Craddock (yes, I know, just a journo) suggesting last year that Carey should be picked because he is in Craddock's eyes "good-looking" (or some similar words, which clearly were not a reference to his strokeplay).

84 n.o. for the Hurricanes, tonight.
Yes, I realise T20s aren't Tests but Wade is sitting on top of the Shield batting table, averaging 63.44 and is in hot form, in the BBL.
At the start of the season, Langer assured players that Shield form would be rewarded.
SS Batsmen: Wade #1. Renshaw #36 - averaging 19.9
Donny there's mail around his papers have been stamped a while ago
Apparently he isn't the most subtle team mate if he's in a bad mood
Langer did say shield form was good form but also the selectors said they wanted to give guys a go who hadn't had the chance previously
The Renshaw selection doesn't make sense at all he's barely troubled the scorers
Patterson has earned his call up and looks to have a good alround game
Australia coach Justin Langer has expressed his empathy for Matthew Wade after the former Test wicketkeeper again vented frustration at being overlooked for a recall this week and suggested batsmen around the country are uncertain about what the criteria for national selection is.
The XI: Marcus Harris, Joe Burns, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Kurtis Patterson, Travis Head, Tim Paine (c/wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jhye Richardson
