Karachi, Feb. 4: Just when the international cricketers of Pakistan who sided with the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) were looking for making a comeback in their national squad after being cleared from the ban imposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), there seems to be more problems brewing up, with reports suggesting that Cricket Australia may not allow its team to play against Pakistan if any ICL cricketer is a part of the Pak team.

Sydney, Feb. 3 : Australian off-spinner Nathan Hauritz has said that he is prepared to wait for his turn to turn out for the national squad, and has become immune to the speculation, opinion and criticism swallowing Australian cricket.

"Coming from being picked in a Test match after being 12th man for NSW the week before, I''m not worried about the pecking order or anything like that," Hauritz said as NSW defeated Tasmania by 114 runs yesterday on the final day of the Sheffield Shield match at Newcastle No. 1 Sports Ground.

Melbourne, Feb. 3 (ANI): Fast bowler Nathan Bracken has said that Australia will use the Brad Haddin-Daniel Vettori ''''cheating'''' spat as motivation during the next one-day international to be played at the MCG on Friday.

"If we want to win this series we''ve got to play good cricket and if it means we''ve got to use that as a motivational thing then we have to," the Courier Mail quoted Bracken, as saying.

He maintained that the issue would help the team rather than disrupt it.

Melbourne, Feb. 3 : Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds has been dropped from the team that is to tour South Africa this month, and told to undergo further rehabilitation and counselling before he can be considered eligible for national selection.

A Fox Sports reports said that the Cricket Australia board met in Melbourne on Tuesday to make a ruling on Symonds.

Symonds has already copped a fine of 4000 dollars for calling New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum "a lump of shit in a radio interview.

Melbourne, Feb. 3 : Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson is likely to be the top choice for this year's Allan Border Medal.

According to Fox Sports and the Courier-Mail, Johnson may get the nod ahead of skipper Ricky Ponting, batsman Mike Hussey and vice-captain Michael Clarke for the medal.

Despite a slow start to the Test season in the West Indies last year - and picking up relatively few votes in one-day matches - Johnson''s incredible performances in Tests this summer have propelled him into the top spot.

Melbourne, Feb. 3: Some senior Cricket Australia officials are likely to tell the board of directors that they should not consider all rounder Andrew Symonds for selection for the tour of South Africa, given his alleged disturbed psychological state.

According to Fox Sports, a meeting of CA board officials here is expected to hear a recommendation from senior staff that Symonds be effectively barred from representing Australia in next month''s South African tour.
