16 March 2001
The five cricketers who have been included in Australia's one-day
squad for the five-match series with India will leave from Sydney on
Saturday and are scheduled to reach Mumbai the next day.
Michael Bevan, Ian Harvey, Darren Lehmann, Andrew Symonds and Nathan
Bracken will replace Michael Slater, Justin Langer, Colin Miller,
Michael Kasprowicz and Matthew Hayden who will fly back to Australia
after the third and final Test starting in Chennai on Sunday, a press
release by the Australian Cricket Board said in Sydney today.
The one-day series start in Bangalore on March 25 followed by matches
in Pune (March 28), Indore (March 31), Visakhapatnam (April 3) and Goa
(April 6).
India and Australia have played 62 one-day international matches with
Australia winning 36, India winning 23 and three games ending in no
results.
In India, the two countries have played 39 times, with Australia
winning 21 and India winning 15. All the three no-results were played
in India. They last played a one-day game in the ICC Knock-out
tournament in Nairobi last year when India triumphed by 20 runs.
