He still has pain with basic activities and is not back to full function as yet.He also has a hamstring injury that has been a concern for most of the summer and will complicate his return.The middle-order batsman, who was replaced as captain by Shane Watson for the fourth Test in India, has been in brilliant form over the last 12 months, averaging 106.33 for calendar year 2012. We are confident that it will not affect his Ashes preparation said a statement from Cricket Australia.
