John Hastings has been called up to
Australia's squad for the second One-
Day International against India in
Brisbane later this week, selectors said
on Tuesday (January 12).
Hastings will replace Mitchell Marsh,
the all-rounder, who will be rested
from Friday's Gabba match ahead of
the third game of the series in
Melbourne on Sunday.
"Mitch is a tremendous asset to
Australian cricket and we are
conscious of managing his workload
and his travel, especially with so much
cricket to come during the rest of this
summer and beyond," Rod Marsh, the
chief selector, said in a statement.
"By taking this decision we have opted
to give him an extra day at home in
Perth after match one, before he flies
to Melbourne on Thursday to prepare
for Sunday's third match of the series."
Marsh said Hastings was "a high-
quality replacement" who had been in
excellent form for the Melbourne Stars
in the domestic Big Bash League.
