Nathan Hauritz maybe out of World Cup

Nathan Hauritz is unlikely to play in the rest of the one-day series against England and could be out of the World Cup with a dislocated shoulder.

The Australia spinner will see a specialist to determine the extent of the injury after he fell awkwardly in the field in Friday's second ODI.

Australia have called up Xavier Doherty as cover.

Physio Alex Kountouris said there was a "moderate" amount of damage to his shoulder and he could require surgery.

Kountouris added: "It is likely he will be unavailable for the remainder of the Commonwealth Bank Series and his availability for the ICC Cricket World Cup will be determined in the coming weeks."

The World Cup starts on 19 February although Australia's first game, against Zimbabwe, is two days later.

Australia lead the current one-day series against England 2-0 with five matches remaining and have further fitness problems with fast bowlers Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson.

Tait complained of pain in his thigh while Johnson has had a virus and Peter Siddle has been added to the squad as cover for both of them.

Johnson has rejoined the squad following illness but will not play in the third match in Sydney on Sunday. Tait has not been ruled out at this stage.

With the World Cup in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh less than a month away, the injuries are piling up for the Baggy Greens.

Mike Hussey underwent surgery on a severe hamstring strain this week, Ricky Ponting is recovering from a broken finger and Cameron White appeared to hurt his finger while batting in Hobart.

With Hauritz and Tait new concerns, that makes one third of Australia's Cup squad facing a race against time to be fit for the one-day tournament.

Further complicating matters for the defending World Cup champions was a stellar innings in Hobart by Shaun Marsh, the only man in Friday's team not named in the World Cup squad.

The 27-year-old left-hander, called in to replace Hussey in Friday's match, rescued the Australian innings with a sparkling 110, helping Australia to 230 runs by the end of their innings and a 46-run victory over England.
