Watson forced out of India tour
Shane Watson will not take part in Australia's tour of India after tweaking a hamstring in the ICC World Twenty20 match against Sri Lanka.
Cricket Australia team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said the decision was made with the home season in mind.
"Although this is a low-grade muscular strain the decision has been made for Shane to prepare himself for the Australian season," Kountouris said.
Watson missed the whole of the Ashes series with hamstring problems.
