Australia’s run for ICC Cricket World Cup is being hampered even before the start the mega event during the Commonwealth Bank Series against England. Australia’s suffering from the injuries of its World Cup Squad’s key players like Skipper Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey, Nathan Hauritz, Shaun Marsh and Shaun Tait has depleted severely its stocks of players.
With the good news of recovery of Ricky Ponting and Shaun Tait; there’s still lot to be worried as Australia’s Mr Consistent, Michael Hussey and spinner Nathan Hauritz are ruled out from the final squad due to their respective injuries.
In this critical situation; Australian selectors have opted for youngsters Callum Ferguson and Jason Kreza to replace veteran Michael Hussey and Nathan Hauritz. Ferguson and Kreza will join Australian team which is set to depart to India on Wednesday (Feb. 9).
Australia, in their first match of the world cup, will take on Zimbabwe on 21st February in the hunt of fourth consecutive world cup title. Still it is beyond the hopes of Ferguson to be part of playing eleven from the very first match; but sure enough to be part of Australia’s bid at any point of time.
The 26-year-old, Callum Ferguson, replaced injured Shaun Marsh (who himself was replacing Michael Hussey) to become the part of Australian outfit in the 6th and 7th ODI of the recently concluded Commonwealth Bank Series against England.
With only 28 ODI appearances on his credit, Ferguson is very excited to get a very lucky chance to take on the world’s best teams on the sub-continent soil.
