Australia coach Mickey Arthur hinted that Shane Watson is likely to miss the final Test against India in Adelaide even if he proves his fitness.
Watson has been sidelined with hamstring and calf injuries since the tour of South Africa two months ago.
“We’re wanting a fit and firing Shane Watson for the T20s and one-day series and I’m pretty sure we’re going to have that,” Arthur said was quoted saying in Skysports.com.
“Whether he plays in Adelaide or not, I’m not sure. But I do know that Shane Watson will be around our Twenty20 and one-day side.
“I don’t see the need to change too much right now. I think we’ve got some really good momentum. We’ve had a lot of success with this squad.”
Australia, who have already sealed the series 3-0 against India, are set to play their fourth and the final Test match at the Adelaide Oval starting January 24.
