Henriques returns, Australia induct McDonald and Cockley

Hyderabad, Nov 4 (PTI) Nursing a hamstring injury, Moises
Henriques Wednesday became the latest Australian to return
home midway through the India tour and the beleaguered
visitors inducted Victorian all-rounder Andrew McDonald and
New South Wales fast bowler Burt Cockley to prop up the
depleted side.

Cricket Australia said in a press release that Henriques
would return home tonight after suffering a hamstring injury
during the fourth ODI in Mohali.
In such a situation, the CA National Selection Panel
(NSP) announced that McDonald and Cockley would join the squad
for the sixth ODI in Guwahati as replacement players for
Henriques and Peter Siddle, who returned home early this
morning with stiffness in his left side.
"Moises complained of some discomfort after the fourth
ODI in Mohali. He had an MRI scan when we arrived in Hyderabad
which showed signs of injury to the right hamstring,"
Australian physiotherapist Kevin Sims said.
"The medical staff believe the injury will not recover
sufficiently for him to participate in the last week of the
tour and therefore we have decided he will return to Australia
where he will continue his treatment," Sims added.
During the current fiscal, the government raised Rs
2,013 crore by offloading its shares in the hydro-power major
NHPC and Rs 2,247 crore from stake sale in OIL.
As per the disinvestment policy of the UPA, the
government is committed to offloading equity in public sector
undertakings while retaining 51 per cent stake.
"The public sector undertakings are the wealth of the
nation, and part of this wealth should rest in the hands of
people. While retaining at least 51 per cent government equity
in our enterprises, I propose to encourage people's
participation in our disinvestment programme", Finance
Minister Pranab Mukherjee had said in his budget speech in
July. PTI CS
