Andrew Symonds sent home....
All rounder Andrew Symonds had been sent home from the Australian one-day team to meet Bangladesh in Darwin, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Saturday.
Symonds was sent home following a recommendation by the team leadership group late on Friday, CA said in a statement.
It did not give a reason for his departure but said it would discuss the issue at the post-game press conference following the first one-day international on Saturday.
Symonds has been in trouble with team management in the past over his behaviour.
He was left out of the team for a one-day match against Bangladesh during Australia's tour of England 2005 after arriving for the game under the influence of alcohol.
Australia are due to play Bangladesh in three one-day internationals, all in Darwin, including further matches next Wednesday and on Sept. 6.
The Reason:
Symonds, who is miffed at being sent home by the Cricket Australia for going on a 'fishing trip' instead of attending a compulsory team meeting last week.
As concerns are raised over his commitment towards the national team, disillusioned Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds unsure if he would tour India for a four-Test series next month and is mulling retirement from international cricket.
Unsure of Andrew Symonds' return to the side, Australia coach Tim Nielsen is working on a plan to deal with the feisty all-rounder's absence in the forthcoming India tour.
After Symonds was sent home for missing a compulsory team meeting, preferring a fishing trip instead, Nielsen said he could not assume that the all-rounder would be part of the squad in India.
"The only thing we can bank on is providing as much support as we possibly can for him (Symonds) to make the right decision for him and for us, to come back into the group 100 per cent committed,' he said adding "how long is a piece of string?".
"I don't know if Roy (Symonds) would understand or know how long it's going to take. I certainly don't," Nielsen added.
