Michael Clarke suffered a hamstring injury while training ahead of the triangular series in Zimbabwe. The Australian captain might miss the first One-Day International (ODI) to be played at Harare on Monday (August 25).

Zimbabwe will be eager to perform well in the triangular series, as they lost the recently concluded three-match ODI series against South Africa 3-0.

As many as ten years have passed since Australia last visited Zimbabwe. Darren Lehmann who went to Zimbabwe as a player in 2004, will go as a coach in 2011.

The triangular series will give all participating teams an opportunity to strike the right team balance ahead of the ICC World Cup 2015.
