policy.

Mike Hussey, the elder brother of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380, in his column for a leading Daily, said that like other players he also wants to be part of every game but in the better interest of cricket Australia he decided to take a break and let the fresh blood come
into the side.
"I would much prefer to be playing in today's one-dayer against India rather than watching the game at home on the couch,” Hussey wrote in his column for 'The Daily Telegraph'.
“Like all players I want to be out there in every game, but I also understand that there's a bigger picture to look at and you've got to think about the team point of view as well," he added further.
Giving the details of his conversation with the national selectors before being dropped from the squad, Hussey said: "The selectors spoke to me after the game at the WACA on Friday night and basically said I could stay home and spend a few extra days with
the family. It was a good opportunity to have a look at Pete http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stewart-Jonathan-Walters-c91389 in the middle order and I hope he can grasp his opportunity and play well."
The experienced middle order batsman, who played a key role in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, agreed with the suggestion of the selectors that taking breaks and such voluntary layoffs are very important, as cricket schedules have become quite
hectic these days.
He further said that given the amount of cricket being played nowadays, it has become quite difficult for players to remain physically and mentally fit.
Hussey, a veteran of 70 Tests and 168 One Day Internationals, will be back in the side for tri-series match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in Sydney on Friday.
