Symonds out of Indian Tour

Symonds has been left out of the 15-man Australian squad for the four-Test tour of India.The 33-year-old Symonds was left out after being sent home from Darwin during the series with Bangladesh for missing a team meeting and going for fishing. Andrew Hilditch, National selectors Chairman said selectors, under the advice of Cricket Australia, were told Symonds could not be considered until he decided he was "fully committed to all of the things needed for a cricketer to be a member of the world's number one team."Hdilditch also added that "Shane Watson fits well into our plan for the tour, someone who bats very well and also provides us extra flexibility with the bowling attack,".
