Aussie one-day players arriving on Sunday

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.
