(Reuters) - European Team captain Thomas Bjorn tapped into Paul Casey's vast match play experience on Thursday in naming the Englishman as one of his two wildcard selections for January's EurAsia Cup against hosts Asia.

Casey was part of back-to-back Ryder Cup triumphs in 2004 and 2006 but the Phoenix-based 40-year-old was unavailable for selection in the last edition after giving up his European Tour membership to focus on the PGA Tour.
