Hilfenhaus is out of the West Indies tour through injury
Ben Hilfenhaus has been ruled out of the tour of the West Indies due to the recurrence of a stress fracture in his lower back.
The lower back injury means Hilfenhaus will be unable to bowl for several months thus capping a disappointing year for the Tasmanian after struggling to have the same impact as in his outstanding 2006-07 season.
Doug Bollinger will replace the injured Hilfenhaus
He remains on the Cricket Australia's 25-man contracted player list for 2008.
However, one man's loss is another man's gain and now Doug Bollinger has been called up to the Test squad as a replacement for Hilfenhaus. Unlucky to have missed the original squad, the New South Welshman has now been rewarded for a brilliant Pura Cup season in which he topped the wicket tally with 45 at 15.44 despite missing the last three games through injury.
Bollinger will be part of the 15-man squad to tour the West Indies as long as he can prove he has recovered from the broken foot he sustained in February.
