- Warne ok for World Cup





England and Australia have been boosted by the news that countries WILL be able to replace injured players at the 2003 World Cup.

The International Cricket Council have confirmed that teams will be able to replace injured players after the December 15 deadline for the naming of the 15-strong World Cup squads.

It means England can name the likes of Andrew Flintoff and Ashley Giles, while the Australians can give Shane Warne every chance to recover from his dislocated shoulder.

An ICC statement read: "At any stage after 31 December, 2002, if one of the 15 named players is, in the opinion of his team manager, unfit to play a useful part in any match during the remainder of the event a representation can be made to the event technical committee.

"Once the team manager has advised the event technical committee a panel of three doctors approved by the ICC will examine the player.

"If they agree that the player is unfit to play a useful part in any match during the remainder of the event, the team may, with the prior written approval of the event technical committee, replace such player with another.

"This procedure applies whether or not the injury existed before 31 December, 2002."
