Clark replaces Geeves

12 Apr, 2009 11:51 AM
STUART Clark will join Australia's one-day squad in South Africa as a replacement for injured pace bowler Brett Geeves.

Cricket Australia spokesman Phillip Pope said Clark, who has missed all six Tests against South Africa this summer with an elbow injury, will arrive in Port Elizabeth tomorrow morning ahead of the fourth one-day international against the Proteas.

However it's unlikely Clark, 33, will play in that match tomorrow night.

Clark will travel with the squad to Johannesburg on Tuesday for Friday's game five and is also heading to the United Arab Emirates for Australia's one-day series against Pakistan starting in Dubai on April 22.

The 22-Test veteran had been due to head to England for a six-week stint with Kent starting on April 21 as preparation for the Ashes series beginning in July.

NSW pace bowler Clark claimed 26 wickets at 17.03 in Australia's 5-0 drubbing of England in 2006-07.
