(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. He is comfortable with where he is in his life right now and him wanting to part of the EurAsia Cup team also shows his commitment to the European Tour and the road he is now on." Alex Levy of France was the other wildcard selection for the third staging of the tournament at Kuala Lumpur's Glenmarie Golf and Country Club from Jan. 12-14. "I have assembled a team which will hopefully go out and retain the EurAsia Cup," Denmark's Bjorn added.
