Australia Re-calls Johnson in ODIs Against SA

Melbourne: Left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson will replace rookie Ryan Harris in the 13-man Australian squad for the remaining three One-Day International matches against South Africa.

With Michael Clarke yet to recover from a thumb injury, Michael Hussey will assume vice-captaincy of the squad for the remainder of the South African series, Cricket Australia said on Monday.

"The only change the National Selection Panel has made to the squad is Mitchell Johnson returning after having his workload managed for the two KFC Twenty20 Internationals and the first two Commonwealth Bank Series games," NSP Chairman Andrew Hilditch said.

Johnson was rested from Australia's two Twenty20 and two ODI matches against South Africa. Australia plays South Africa in the third Commonwealth Bank Series match in Sydney on Friday.

Squad: Ricky Ponting (c), Shaun Marsh, David Warner, Michael Hussey (vc), David Hussey, Brad Haddin (wk), Nathan Hauritz, James Hopes, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Bracken, Ben Hilfenhaus, Shaun Tait and Cameron White.
