Veteran wicketkeeper Brad Haddin says he saw his omission from the Australia side for the first Test coming, claiming the decision to go with Matthew Wade was made "a long time ago".

Haddin on Tuesday arrived back in Sydney after leading Sydney Sixers to Champions League glory in South Africa - the gloss of the 10-wicket triumph in the final tarnished somewhat when he was left out of the Test side to face South Africa at the Gabba from November 9.

Selectors opted to stick with the 24-year-old Wade behind the stumps, after he shone while filling in during the tour of West Indies earlier this year when Haddin had returned home for personal reasons.

Haddin, 35, said he felt no bitterness to selectors or Wade even if it meant the end of his international career, saying he would be there if required by the Australia team into the future.

"I think this decision was made a long time ago ... I don't think it was made overnight," Haddin said.

"The decision to go in this direction was made a long time ago."

Asked if he had been given an indication by selectors that this was the way they would go, Haddin said: "If you've been around cricket long enough, (it's not hard) to get the feeling that it was going to go this way.

"I'm content with where things are at. My job now is to get back to NSW and, like everyone else, enjoy Australia regain the No.1 Test ranking in the world."

There will be little rest for Haddin following his exploits in South Africa with the Blues to take on Queensland in a Sheffield Shield clash in Brisbane starting on Friday.
