Neser injures calf as Australia reveal India plans
- Australian fast bowler Michael Neser suffered a right calf strain during a training session in Brisbane this week, sidelining him for approximately one month of rehabilitation.
- After his Ashes heroics last summer, the 36-year-old had remained in full training as a standby bowler, taking 15 wickets at an average of 19.93 during the series.
- Selectors added Queensland batter Jack Clayton to the 13-man Cricket Australia XI for Thursday's tour match in Darwin, replacing Victoria batter Tom Rogers, while fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood return to the squad.
- Neser will begin a month-long rehabilitation to rebuild his bowling workload, keeping him in contention for the October tour of South Africa despite the delayed preparations.
- With as many as 21 Tests scheduled over the next 12 months, reliable campaigners like Neser are vital backups to help manage the heavy workload for Australia's ageing fast bowlers.
