he was named in the 2009 ashes squad , and subsequently made his test debut in the 3rd test at edgbaston , after brad haddin broke his finger during the warm-up ; making brad haddin the first australian wicketkeeper to miss a test since ian healy broke his thumb in 1994 .

during his first innings in the same match he was bowled by james anderson for just 8 runs .
on 31 october 2009 , manou made his one day international debut against india when he was called upon to replace tim paine , who had himself been called up as a replacement , after paine broke a finger .
