Clarke to Miss India ODI, Bailey Joins Squad

Sydney: Injured skipper Michael Clarke will miss Australia's weekend tri-series one-day international against India, allowing George Bailey to join the squad, Cricket Australia said on Friday.

Clarke missed Australia's crushing eight-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in Sydney on Friday and Ricky Ponting will again lead the side in Brisbane on Sunday.

Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said Clarke was not quite ready to return to action.

"Michael Clarke is progressing well in his recovery from a right hamstring injury but remains unavailable for selection in Brisbane," Kountouris said.

"His availability for the ODI in Hobart (on February 24) will be determined early next week."

Australia Twenty20 skipper Bailey will join the squad as a standby batsman and spinner Jon Holland will remain with the squad after being called up on standby for Xavier Doherty.

Bailey has been taken out of Tasmania's Sheffield Shield match in Hobart to provide batting cover for Australia, who have lost their last two matches in the tri-series.

Australia squad for 7th match against India:

  • Ricky Ponting (captain)
  • David Warner (vice-captain)
  • Matthew Wade (wk)
  • George Bailey
  • Daniel Christian
  • Xavier Doherty
  • Peter Forrest
  • Ben Hilfenhaus
  • Jon Holland
  • Dave Hussey
  • Mike Hussey
  • Brett Lee
  • Clint McKay
  • Mitchell Starc.
