MUMBAI – Mike Hussey received a World Cup reprieve on Sunday when he was named as a replacement for injured fast bowler Doug Bollinger. Hussey had been named in the original 15-man squad for the Feb. 19 – April 2 tournament before being controversially removed as selectors feared he would not recover in time from a hamstring injury. The 35-year-old’s omission not only angered the batsman but also caused a furore in Australia. Hussey had always believed he would be fit to play most of the event despite rupturing a hamstring during the ODI series against England.
