In the upcoming three-match Commonwealth Bank Series against Bangladesh instead of Ricky Ponting, the 14-member team will be led by Michael Clarke. Injured Pointing has been ruled out of the series because of the wrist injury. Mike Hussey will serve as the deputy to Clarke in the three-game series in Darwin on August 30 and September 3 and 6. The 27-year-old Clarke led Australia to successive wins over the West Indies in one-dayers in early July.
