http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 likely to be withdrawn from the CLT20 2012 by Cricket Australia – Cricket News Update
Sydney Sixers’ premier all-rounder, Shane Watson, is not likely to play the complete Champions League T20 2012, with Cricket Australia looking to call him back earlier in order to get him ready for the upcoming Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at home.
Watson is considered to be one of the best cricketers in the world at the moment in all the formats of the game. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 cricketer is among the most sought-after players by different franchises all around the globe.
The hard-hitting all-rounder was named as the Player of the Tournament in the recently-concluded http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, winning four Man of the Match awards in a row, which in itself is a world-record.
Since making his international debut in 2002, Watson has been struggling to play international cricket consistently due to a number of injuries. The 31-year-old cricketer however, has been an integral part of the Baggy Greens since the last three years,
making contributions with both bat and ball.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 is currently representing the Sixers in the CLT20 and played an important role in the franchise’s success against Chennai Super Kings, in their opening match of the competition on Sunday.
Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Alexander-Sutherland-c65430, does not have good news for the Sydney Sixers and hinted to call back his leading cricketer to give him some well-deserved rest.
''We are reviewing his load and circumstance very closely. I think it's reasonably well known that it's likely he won't see the tournament out,'' Sutherland said. ''We're concerned about Shane. His injury record is unfortunate and what that tells us is that
we need to monitor him and manage him very carefully and we are.”
Watson played his last Test during the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in April this year. Sutherland understands that the 5-day format is more challenging for the players, emphasizing on the need to get the all-rounder ready before taking on the Proteas in the first
match at Brisbane, which starts on November, 9, 2012.
''I don't know the specifics but the priority will be for him to get himself right as possible. But then also to really focus on getting him right to play Test cricket which he hasn't played for a long time,” he added.
