ACB Clark to miss A matches; Harwood misses PM's XI, replaced by Lewis
Australian Cricket Board - 3 December 2002

New South Wales Blues fast bowler Stuart Clark will miss Australia A's matches against England and Sri Lanka because of a muscle strain.

And Victorian Bushrangers fast bowler Shane Harwood has pulled out of the Prime Minister's XI match against England with a sore back and has been replaced by fellow Victorian Michael Lewis.

Clark picked up the strain, just below the back of his 11th rib, during the Blues' ING Cup match against the Victoria Bushrangers last Sunday (1 December).

In his absence the National Selection Panel have decided against calling up a replacement, so the Australia A squad for the day-night matches against England in Sydney (8 December) and Sri Lanka in Brisbane (14 December) now consists of 12 players.

Like Clark, Harwood's injury flared up during the ING Cup match in Sydney on 1 December.

Lewis will take Harwood's place for the one-day match at Manuka Oval, Canberra on 10 December.

The Australia A squad is now: Justin Langer (captain) WA, Jimmy Maher (vice-captain) QLD, Greg Blewett SA, Nathan Bracken NSW, Michael Clarke NSW, Ryan Campbell WA, Nathan Hauritz QLD, Brad Hogg WA, Michael Hussey WA, Ashley Noffke QLD, Andrew Symonds QLD, Brad Williams WA.

The Prime Minister's XI is now: Mark Waugh (captain) NSW, Matthew Bradley NSW, Lee Carseldine QLD, David Dawson ACT, Brad Haddin NSW, Mark Higgs SA, Simon Katich NSW, Michael Lewis VIC, Ashley Noffke QLD, Paul Rofe SA, Cameron White VIC. 12th man Ben Dennett ACT.
