AFTER INDIAN pacer Praveen Kumar, one of the most consistent batsman for Australia, Michael Hussey as well as spinner Nathan Hauritz and England's batsman Eoin Morgan have also been ruled out of the ICC Cricket World Cup due to injury.
Cricket Australia has confirmed that the Australian middle order southpaw Mike Hussey has been ruled out due to his hamstring injury. In the recently concluded Ashes series, Mike Hussey played some brilliant innings for his country. The 35-year-old Hussey has an impressive record in ODIs. In 151 ODIs he has scored 4469 runs with an average of 51.96. 26-year-old batsman Callum Ferguson has been drafted in the 15-member Aussies squad.
Spinner Nathan Hauritz, who is suffering from a shoulder injury has been replaced by off break bowler Jason Krejza. Krejza, who has played only one ODI, was not in the provisional Australian 30-man squad named in December. The Australian team will fly to India today, aiming for a fourth consecutive World Cup victory.
Like the Aussies, England's left-hand middle order batsman Eoin Morgan has been ruled out of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 due to a broken middle finger of his left hand. Essex all-rounder Ravi Bopara replaced Morgen in the England's 15-member squad.
Earlier on Tuesday, Indian speedster S. Sreesanth replaced injured Praveen Kumar in the Indian squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. Praveen Kumar has been ruled out due to an injured elbow.
