Mohali: Austrailan side has got the much needed fillip in the 4th and Final Test against India with Vice Captain Shane Watson joining the touring side in New Delhi on Tuesday. He will leave Sydney toady and would arrive India tonight, but he joins the squad tomorrow just as the team is currently playing in the 3rd Test here.
Watson, suspended player returning home to Sydney will come back after serving a one test ban for failing to submit a presentation Coach Mickey Arthur over how to improve his and the team’s performance.
Cricket Australia has announced that he would fly back to India later on Monday during the 4th Test in Delhi which begins on Friday.
Shane Watson will return to tour India and will fly out of Sydney tonight for joining Australian Squad in India ahead for the 4th test. He was originally expected to return home after the 3rd Test and miss the 4th.
His suspension along with fellow team mates like James Pattinson, Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Johnson fuelled speculation about a possible rift with the skipper Michael Clarke.
Before the start of the 3rd Test, Clarke had made it clear that he would like to have his Vice Captain for the Final Test.
With Clarke battling back problems that prevented him from batting on Day 4here, there might arise a situation where Watson would be handed the Captaincy for the Final Test !
