JOHANNESBURG, (Reuters) – Australia have called up left-arm paceman Doug Bollinger to replace the injured Nathan Bracken in their Champions Trophy squad, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a news release yesterday.
Left-armer Bracken had been forced out with an injury to his right knee.
Bollinger, 28, played all three of his one-day internationals against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates after making his test debut against South Africa in Sydney earlier this year.
He led Australia to an eight-wicket victory in his second ODI, with figures of five for 35.
Holders Australia start their title defence with a Group A match against West Indies in Johannesburg today.
India and Twenty20 champions Pakistan are also in the group.
