Brad Haddin injury is Tim Paine's gain

10 April 2012

Tim Paine will replace wicketkeeper Brad Haddin for Australia's one-day international squad for upcoming matches against Ireland and England later this month.

Cricket Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris confirmed Haddin had been ruled out of the ODI part of the tour, which also includes two Tests against Pakistan.

Kountouris said: "Brad has been struggling with tendon elbow pain (tennis elbow) while batting during the World Twenty20. As with most tendon injuries, time is required to allow the pain to settle and gradually increase the tendon load.

"His availability for the Twenty20 internationals and Tests matches against Pakistan in the UK will be dependent on his progress over the next few weeks."

Paine has played 17 ODIs and made his debut on the 2009 England tour when Haddin missed the ODI series after breaking his finger in the Ashes.
