Tim Paine to replace Brad Haddin in ODI squad

Cricket Australia today advised that Tim Paine will replace Brad Haddin in the Australia ODI squad for upcoming matches against Ireland and England on the VB Tour of the British Isles.

Cricket Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris today confirmed that Haddin had been ruled out of the ODI part of the tour through injury. Kountouris said: "Brad has been struggling with tendon elbow pain (tennis elbow) while batting during the ICC Twenty20 World Cup. As with most tendon injuries, time is required to allow the pain to settle and gradually increase the tendon load. As such, Brad will not be taking part in the ODI matches against Ireland and England. His availability for the Twenty20 internationals and Tests matches against Pakistan in the UK will be dependant on his progress over the next few weeks."

As a result of Tim Paine's elevation, the National Selection Panel today named Victoria's Matthew Wade as the replacement for Paine in the Australia A squad to play Sri Lanka A in Queensland later this month.
