Craig HillRyan Harris Replaces Injured Peter Siddle
January 14th 2009 00:00
Queensland allrounder Ryan Harris has replaced Peter Siddle in Australia's Commonwealth Bank Series squad after the Victorian fast bowler was forced to withdraw with a foot injury.
Siddle has been ruled out of the entire series against South Africa after scans revealed the early stages of mild stress in his left foot.
Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris confirmed Siddle will need to rest to allow the foot time to heel but expects a speedy recovery.
"He had previous pain in his left foot which became worse during the Test Series against South Africa," he said.
"Peter needs a short period of rest before resuming bowling which we anticipate will be in a further two weeks but he is expected to take part in the Commonwealth Bank Series against New Zealand in February."
David Warner has also been placed on standby for the Commonwealth Bank Series while Michael Clarke has an assessment on his injured right thumb.
Harris was close to making his debut in Australian colours in the Twenty20 clash against South Africa at the Gabba on Tuesday only to be made 12th man.
