Cricket Australia medical staff have confirmed Victorian fast bowler James Pattinson has been ruled out of Australia’s ODI squad for the VB Tour of India after confirmation he has developed the early stages of a low back bone stress injury.
The National Selection Panel (NSP) announced Victorian bowling all-rounder John Hastings will replace his Bushrangers teammate in the one-day squad.
Australian team physiotherapist Kevin Sims said:
“It is disappointing for James Pattinson to suffer an injury at this stage however it does present a great opportunity for John to show his potential at international level prior to selection for the 2010-11 ICC Cricket World Cup on the sub-continent.”
Victorian all-rounder John Hastings says his call-up to the Australian ODI squad for the tour of India is a bitter-sweet feeling.
Hastings said he was thrilled to have been picked, but was also disappointed it came in place of Victorian team-mate and good friend James Pattinson.
Pattinson was ruled out of the series with a lower back injury, which Hastings said took the gloss off his own good news.
"It's every boy's dream to represent your country and play for Australia, so if I get the opportunity to do that I'll be making every post a winner."
The 24-year-old took 65 wickets in all forms of the game last year, including 19 at an average of 29.74 in the domestic one-day competition last year to put him on the national team's radar.
