SYDNEY: Fast bowler Nathan Bracken and spinner Daniel Cullen have been added to the Australian cricket team for the second Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong from Sunday, selection panel chairman Andrew Hilditch said on Tuesday.

Hilditch said some doubt existed about the fitness of current squad members for the second Test and it was clear reinforcements would be needed. Leg-spinner Shane Warne was in doubt for the second Test because of a sore shoulder, while the Australian fast bowlers were worn down by a heavy workload in recent matches, Hilditch said. — AP
