Centurion, Oct 1 (Inditop.com) David Hussey will replace an injured Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke for the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy.

“The ICC has confirmed the event technical committee of the Champions Trophy has approved a change in the Australia squad for the tournament, which runs until 5 October,” ICC said in a statement.
Australia take on England in the first semi-final here Friday.
