David Hussey has replaced Michael Clarke in the Australia Champions Trophy squad, an International Cricket Council statement said Thursday. Star batsman and vice-captain Clarke arrived in South Africa after a lengthy tour of England with a lower-back problem and failed to recover despite intensive treatment.
He was the second pivotal figure in the Australian squad forced to return home because of injury after crack bowler Nathan Bracken, whose slot was filled by Doug Bollinger. Popularly known as 'Huss' or 'Bomber', the 32-year-old right-hand batsman has made 23 appearances for his country at one-day level, scoring 598 runs.
