Paine Replaces Injured Haddin Against England, Ireland ODIs

Sydney: Tim Paine will replace an injured Brad Haddin in the Australian One-day International (ODI) squad for the upcoming matches against Ireland and England.

Cricket Australia (CA) physiotherapist Alex Kountouris Sunday confirmed that Haddin has been ruled out of the ODI part of the tour because of an elbow injury.

"Brad has been struggling with tendon elbow pain (tennis elbow) while batting during the ICC Twenty20 World Cup. As with most tendon injuries, time is required to allow the pain to settle and gradually increase the tendon load. As such, Brad will not be taking part in the ODI matches against Ireland and England," Kountouris said.

His availability for the Twenty20 internationals and Tests matches against Pakistan in the UK will be dependant on his progress over the next few weeks.
