Starc, Hazlewood to miss S. Africa ODI series
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 09 - 2016

Pace pair Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood will be rested for this month's One-Day International series in South Africa, Cricket Australia said Friday.
Starc and Hazlewood would be stood down to allow them time to refresh ahead of the Australian summer season, CA said.
"Mitchell and Josh have had big tours of Sri Lanka and have a heavy workload ahead of them with 10 Tests to be played this (domestic) summer," chief selector Rod Marsh said.
"As such, it is important they are managed appropriately and we believe missing the tour of South Africa is the right time for them to take a break."
Marsh added that this would serve as a good opportunity for up-and-coming fast bowlers to push for selection.
Marsh said that with a number of bowlers returning from injury, it was important for the national team to continue to build up a battery of quality fast-bowlers.
Earlier this week Australian paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile was ruled out for an indefinite spell after returning home early from the Sri Lanka ODI series with a serious back injury.
CA said Hazlewood would return home immediately from the tour of Sri Lanka and Starc would remain with the side for the remaining ODI and two T20 Internationals against Sri Lanka.
The squad for the tour of South Africa will be named following the final ODI against Sri Lanka.
The tour consists of one ODI against Ireland and five against South Africa, with the first match to be played against Ireland on Sept. 27.
Harris joins Australia's coaching ranks
Former Test fast bowler Ryan Harris will join Australia's coaching staff for this month's tour of South Africa, Cricket Australia said Friday.
Harris, 36, will work as a bowling coach alongside newly appointed team assistant coach David Saker.
Harris, who took 113 wickets in 27 Tests as a swing bowler, retired last year with persistent knee problems, and was Australia's Under-19 coach last season.
"It's great experience to learn from David Saker and Darren Lehmann, I'm really just going to sit back and watch and learn," Harris said.
"Eventually I'd like to work my way to the top and become a bowling coach of the Australian team one day. Just like playing, you have to earn your stripes and learn the ropes."
Head coach Lehmann said he was excited to have Harris on board in a coaching role. — Agencies
