Waugh and Harvey under injury clouds

Australian opening batsman Mark Waugh and all-rounder Ian Harvey are under injury clouds for the ICC Knockout Cup quarter-final against India here tomorrow.

Waugh and Harvey were forced to remain at the team hotel to receive treatment from physiotherapist Errol Alcott, missing the team's two-day safari to the Masai Mara wildlife park.

Harvey is battling a shoulder problem, sustained when he took a diving caught and bowled against England on Tuesday, while Waugh has a sore back.

Both will need to pass fitness tests at Australia's final training session if they are to play against India, which qualified for the quarter-finals by thrashing Kenya on Tuesday.

"They probably are in danger of missing, that's why they stayed back at the hotel," said skipper Steve Waugh.

"They were pretty desperate to get to the Masai Mara and were disappointed to miss out so they have both made a big sacrifice by not being there.

"We will find out tomorrow whether they are going to play or not but they are both obviously concerns."

Alcott is hopeful both will prove their fitness although it appears Mark Waugh will be unable to bowl even if he is declared fit to play.

Alcott said Harvey had landed heavily on his arm and "was a bit tender on the day of the game with his shoulder movements".

"But he has responded fairly well," Alcott said of the Victorian all-rounder.

"He has got full range movement, very little discomfort and good strength in his shoulder."

Alcott said Waugh had been encountering back trouble for a while and had reaggravated the problem during the warm-up before the England match.

"He has come up really well with treatment but we are looking to re-assess him at training," he said.

The team's leading one-day batsman Michael Bevan has also been battling shoulder trouble but is expected to play while paceman Glenn McGrath has been declared a certain starter despite not having played in the two warm-up matches.

He was rested following a long English county season although he did complain of buttock soreness after one net session.

But Alcott said McGrath had pulled up fine and would not have been allowed to make the trip to the Masai Mara unless he was 100 per cent fit.
