Family tour granted for Michael Hussey

The premature birth of the baby born to Michael Hussey was made into consideration and Michael Hussey was granted the family tour that he appealed for. Australia was about to leave for the tour to Ireland and England but unfortunately Hussey could not join them this time.

A new member was added to the Hussey family, but the child was premature. Taking this matter into utter consideration CA allowed the leave for Hussey so that he can spend some time with the family. Cricket Australia brought a batsman from Queensland named Peter Forest and included him into the group of 15 cricketers.

Hussey’s wife gave birth to baby three months earlier and hence Michael Hussey claimed that this was necessary for him to be with the family. He also said that it was very problematic for hi to avoid the tour to England and Ireland but however he showed his gratitude by thanking CA for considering the situation and for being with him in his tough times. He even added that being with family was very important for him and he could not avoid doing this.

Forest who replaced Michael Hussey has the record for playing ODIs only 11 times and hence he has been kept as a player of standby. Though the Australians are in a back foot, but they are fully prepared to play to their fullest. Sources say that the cricketers are accepting the problem and they are considering the situation. The team mates are there beside Hussey and are expecting Hussey soon. Hussey also welcomed the demand and claimed that he would return o the field as soon as possible. Now the Australia without a powerful batsman like Hussey is going to face a tough challenge.
