Allrounder out for next match

Australia

Shane Watson has been out of Friday's ODI Tri-Series match against England with a tight right hamstring. Allrounder Moises Henriques has been called into the squad

National Selection Panel chairman Rod Marsh said: "Moises is one of our leading all-rounders, he has international experience, and in Shane Watson's enforced absence it made perfect sense to draft him in for this match

Watson had left Australia's net session in Hobart on Thursday after bowling but he did not bat.

He later returned to watch the remainder of the training run from the back on the practice area.
George Bailey (suspension) and David Warner (hamstring soreness) will also miss tomorrow's clash against England, with Shaun Marsh to open alongside Aaron Finch, and Cameron White to bat in the middle order.

Left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty could return to the side for his home ODI after missing Australia's last-start win over India in Melbourne on Sunday.
Australia squad: Aaron Finch, Shaun Marsh, Cameron White, Steve Smith, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Haddin, James Faulkner, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Xavier Doherty, Gurinder Sandhu.

Pakistan on road to Worldcup


Pakistan cricket team take off from Lahore to New Zealand for two one day internationals before ICC CWC 2015. 1st ODI scheduled on 31st Jan and second will be on 3rd Feb. Pakistan's fast bowler Junad Khan did not go with team due to injury.

Craig Kieswetter's injury


There are fears that the cricket career of 27-year-old England wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter could be over.

Kieswetter broke his nose and damaged his eye socket and cheekbone when a ball went through the grille of his helmet in a English county match in July.

He underwent facial surgery and returned to action in September, but has since complained of impaired vision and will travel to Belgium this week for further assessment from a specialist.
His county Somerset expect him to miss at least the 2015 season and director of cricket Matthew Maynard fears the injury could even lead to a premature end to his career.
Kieswetter's comeback appeared to be on track after he returned for Somerset late in the season before heading to South Africa to play domestic T20 cricket for the Warriors.
But it was during his time in South Africa that Kieswetter realised his vision was still effected.
Kieswetter has played 46 one-day internationals and 25 T20s for England, including a match-winning 63 in their World T20 final triumph over Australia in 2010.
