Australian Watson out of India tour with hamstring strai

Sept 21 - All-rounder Shane Watson will be replaced in the Australian squad to tour India later this month after being withdrawn on Friday with a hamstring injury.

Watson, who missed the early stages of the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa with the problem, has a "low-grade muscular strain" according to physiotherapist Alex Kountouris.

"The decision has been made for Shane to return to Australia and prepare himself for the upcoming Australian season," Kountouris said in a statement.

No decision has yet been made on who will replace Watson.
