Connolly to replace injured Short in Australia's squad
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Young spin-bowling all-rounder Cooper Connolly will replace injured Matthew Short in the Australian squad for the knock-out stages of the ongoing Champions Trophy.
Short was ruled out of the ICC event, being held in Pakistan and Dubai, due to a calf injury sustained during the match against Afghanistan.
The 21-year-old Connolly, who made his ODI debut in England last year, was initially named as a travelling reserve for the tournament.
