The decision means Hussey will be a full member of the squad and is available for Australia's next matchs, against Kenya,Canada,Pakistan. His presence should bolster Australia's strength against spin, although the next question is who they would leave out of the starting XI to accommodate Hussey, with Cameron White and David Hussey both facing a fight to retain their positions.
Hussey was originally named in the 15-man squad but was withdrawn before the team flew out, as he had not yet recovered from a serious hamstring injury that required surgery. But Hussey made his comeback for Western Australia this week in a Sheffield Shield match at the WACA, where he made 19 and 11 but more importantly got through the match unscathed. The door opened for his return to the World Cup squad when Bollinger was sent home due to an ankle injury.
