London, July 31 - Young Phillip Hughes faced the wrath of the Australian team management after revealing prematurely on the social networking site Twitter that he had been dropped for the third Test of the ongoing Ashes series at Edgbaston.

Teams are not obliged to reveal their line-ups before the toss, but a message appeared on Hughes's Twitter page on the morning of the Test, Thursday, stating he had been dropped.

'Disappointed not to be on the field with the lads today,' read the message. 'Will be supporting the guys, it's a BIG test match 4 us. Thanks 4 all the support.'

Hughes's agent, Neil D'Costa, attempted to take the blame for the mistake, claiming that he was responsible for posting the player's tweets, but Cricket Australia's (CA) Philip Pope suggested Hughes would still be held accountable.

'As a young player he will be reminded that he should not be revealing details until the team has been officially announced,' Pope was quoted as saying in the Guardian.

Earlier D'Costa, who is in India, had blamed the premature tweet on his own miscalculation of the time difference.

'I look after the Twitter for Phillip and we were certainly under the impression (the timing was ok) because of the time change,' D'Costa told Sky Sports News.
