Australia have called up all-rounder David Hussey to replace Michael Clarke for the final stages of the ICC Champions Trophy.

Australia is one of the four semi finalists of the championship after its last-ball against Pakistan at Centurion in their final group game yesterday. Australia won this game without vice-captain Clarke, who has returned to Sydney for treatment on a chronic lower back injury. David Hussey was left out of the original squad for the Championship Trophy.

Australia have already a replacement cricketer in David Bollinger filling the place of Nathan Bracken who returned home for chronic knee problem. Bracken is expected to undergo arthroscopic surgery next week.
