Shane Watson will miss the upcoming ODI series against India after suffering a sore hamstring during the win against Sri Lanka on Thursday in the ICC World Twenty20. It was Watson's first game in the tournament after he sat out the initial matches with a hamstring problem.
"Shane Watson experienced some left hamstring soreness during yesterday's game," Alex Kountouris, the team physio said. "This is similar to the pain he had prior to this tour. Although this is a low-grade muscular strain the decision has been made for Shane to return to Australia and prepare himself for the upcoming Australian season."
No decision had been taken regarding a replacement for Watson. Australia are scheduled to depart from South Africa for India on September 25 to play a seven-match ODI series and one Twenty20 game. The first match will be played on September 29 in Bangalore.
