Australia 'concerned' about Watson

SYDNEY — Cricket Australia is considering calling allrounder Shane Watson home early from the Champions League Twenty20 tournament so he can rest and be ready for the three-test series against South Africa starting Nov. 9.

Responding to questions about burnout and a lack of longer-form cricket for Watson, CA chief executive James Sutherland on Monday said "We are reviewing his load and circumstance very closely . . . I think it's reasonably well known that it's likely he won't see the tournament out."

Sutherland said CA was "concerned" about Watson, adding "his injury record is unfortunate."

The 31-year-old Watson scored 46 for the Sydney Sixers in the win over the Chennai Super Kings at Johannesburg on Sunday.
