Jhye Richardson out of World Cup, Kane called up

Jhye Richardson has been ruled out of the World Cup having failed to recover from the dislocated shoulder he suffered against Pakistan in the UAE. Kane Richardson has been drafted in to Australia's 15-man squad.

Jhye picked up the injury diving on the boundary during the second ODI in Sharjah and though he avoided needing surgery time has run out on him to be ready for the World Cup. Since Australia went into camp in Brisbane it has looked unlikely he would recover having not yet resumed bowling.

His next target is to be able available to join the Australia A tour of England which runs concurrent to the latter part of the World Cup and the build-up to the Ashes in a bid to make the Test squad for the series which starts on August 1.

Jhye's World Cup absence is a blow for Australia with him having made an impressive return to the Australia one-day side during the home summer. He has taken 24 wickets in 12 matches at 26.33.

"This is obviously very disappointing news for the team and for Jhye, who has been exceptional throughout his rehabilitation process," David Beakley, Australia's physiotherapist, said. "After his most recent assessment and attempting to bowl in the nets, it was clear that Jhye was not progressing as fast as required and therefore, in consultation with selectors, we made the decision to withdraw him from the squad.

"Jhye will continue with his rehabilitation and we will look to resume bowling in the coming weeks. At this stage we are still hopeful that he could be available for the Australia A tour of England."

For his namesake, Kane, the World Cup call-up completes a notable one-day comeback having drifted out of the reckoning until a prolific BBL - where he was the leading wicket-taker - earned him another chance, firstly for the India tour, which he was then ruled out of with injury, and then the Pakistan series in the UAE where he played two matches.

He was wicketless in the opening match against the New Zealand XI in Brisbane but was named for the second match.

He has been called up ahead of Josh Hazlewood who was the other quick confirmed as a reserve when the squad was named last month. Hazlewood has yet to bowl at full pace in his recovery from the back stress fracture which has kept him out of action since the final Test against India in early January.

Sean Abbott and Michael Neser, who are both part of the Australia A squad, were included in the Australian 12 for the second practice match at Allan Border Field and Mitchell Starc got his first outing since the final Test against Sri Lanka when he suffered a pectoral injury.
