Australian allrounder Andrew Symonds injured his shoulder today packing his bags for the one day cricket series in India starting on March 25.

The talented Queenslander will not fly out until Wednesday after doctors ordered him to recuperate at home.

Darren Lehmann, Michael Bevan, Ian Harvey all flew out today to Mumbai via Hong Kong.

But officials were still scampering this afternoon to find a replacement passport and visas for New South Wales fast bowler Nathan Bracken.

ACB spokesman Brendan McClements confirmed Symonds' unfortunate mishap and Bracken's lost documents.

"He (Symonds) has actually fallen in the shed after sorting out stuff to pack," the ACB spokesman said today.

"He was standing on a stool to get the bag down and has overbalanced and hurt his shoulder."
