• Captain troubled with back injury
• George Bailey to take over as captain
The Australia captain, Michael Clarke, has been ruled out of the one-day cricket tour to India because of his back injury problems.
George Bailey will take over as captain with Callum Ferguson called up to replace Clarke in the squad which departs on Saturday.
Clarke has been plagued with back problems and there was some doubt that he would be able to join the tour before the squad was named last month.
Australia host England for the next Ashes series, with the first Test starting on 21 November in Brisbane.
