Australian fast bowler Doug Bollinger has been sent home from the one-day series against India with an abdominal strain, team officials said Thursday, raising further injury concerns before the Ashes. Bollinger will be accompanied by middle-order batsman Mike Hussey, who is returning to play for his domestic side West Australia. Bollinger also missed the second Test against India with an abdominal problem.
"Doug reported some minor discomfort to his abdomen during his rehabilitation from the previous injury," said team physio Kevin Sims in a statement.
