Praveen Kumar ,Hussey, Hauritz to Miss ICC World Cup Cricket 2011

Australia and India suffered setbacks ahead of the World Cup 2011 as both teams lost important players to injuries.

India will have to manage without the services of Praveen Kumar who has been ruled out due to an elbow injury
and will be replaced by Sreesanth. 

The decision comes a day after Praveen underwent a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore to measure whether he had recovered from the injury sustained before the start of the one-day series in South Africa last month. 

Praveen has been a regular with the Indian one-day side for the past couple of years and was set to be a certain starter in the World Cup, but his injury healed too slowly to allow him to participate in the global tournament. 

Sreesanth  has played only 51 one-dayers in more than five years since his debut in 2005, and has a bloated career economy rate of 6.01. But he proved effective in the two ODIs he's played over the past 12 months, bagging seven wickets for 77 runs. 

Australia’s face was worse than India’s. The Aussie team suffered a double blow as both Michael Hussey and Nathan Hauritz failed to get the requisite fitness clearance. 
Michael Hussey and Nathan Hauritz, would miss the mega event. Both players were part of the 15-member squad for the World Cup, but Cricket Australia (CA) has applied to exclude their names from the list.
The injuries will provide an opportunity for Callum Ferguson and Jason Krejza, who will be the replacements for the mega event. However, the pair wasn’t the selectors first choice, as Shaun Marsh and Xavier Doherty were set to replace the injured players.
