Hilfenhaus replaces Johnson for India A clash

Ben Hilfenhaus, the Tasmania fast bowler, will replace Mitchell Johnson for the match against India A on Saturday at the TIO Stadium in Darwin. Cullen Bailey, the South Australia legspinner, has also been included in the squad.

"Ben Hilfenhaus will be given an opportunity in this game with Mitchell Johnson being rested," said Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of selectors. "Ben is an exciting young bowler from Tasmania and we see this as a great opportunity to have a good look at him."

The 12th man will be announced on the morning of the match.
