Australia: Kane Richardson pulls out of ODI, T20I series to be with new born
son
Australia fast bowler Kane Richardson has decided to pull out of the
upcoming white-ball series against India to be with his new born son, Cricket
Australia confirmed on Wednesday.
Richardson will be replaced by Andrew Tye in the ODI and T20I squads.
India's tour of Australia will begin with the 1st ODI in Sydney on November 27.
Richardson has played 25 ODIs and 21 T20Is for Australia since his debut
in 2013 and has picked 39 and 22 wickets in both the formats respectively.
The 33-year-old Tye has played 7 ODIs and 26 T20
internationals and was a backup paceman on Australia's recent tour to England,
which finished with an ODI series win over the World Cup winners.
"It was a difficult decision for Kane to make
but one which has the complete support of the selectors and the entire playing
squad. Kane wanted to remain in Adelaide with Nyki and their new born son.
"We will always support our players and their
families, even more so given the challenging environment we are in. We will
miss what he brings to the team but completely understand and support his
decision," national selector Trevor Hohns said in a statement.
CA meanwhile, also announced that D'Arcy Short and
Josh Philippe will train with the Australian limited-overs squads in Sydney
from next week before they join their Big Bash sides. The decision was taken
due to the fresh coronavirus outbreak in South Australia.
