Mitchell Johnson doubtful for Sydney Test vs India
Mitchell Johnson is nursing a sore hamstring and an Australian media
report has quoted a team spokesperson as saying that the bowler has been
excused from the training session.
Sydney: Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson is in doubt for the
fourth test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground because of
soreness in his left hamstring.Johnson did not train with the Australian
team on Saturday and his condition will be further assessed in the
lead-up to the final test beginning on Tuesday.
Australia has clinched the series with wins at Adelaide and Brisbane
and a draw last week in Melbourne.Johnson's heavy workload over the past
two tests is believed to have contributed to the problem, and with the
World Cup scheduled for next month, team selectors may decide to give
him a rest.If Johnson is unavailable for the Sydney match, Mitchell
Starc or Peter Siddle could be possible replacements.
