Australian captain Michael Clarke has revealed that he wishes to have a full strength squad for the forthcoming Tri-series against South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Clarke said that the series were crucial for the team's preparation leading to the World cup next year.

According to Sport24, the Australian team is due to play four one-dayers in Harare this year, two against each African nation, as well as a potential final.

The report also suggests that one player who will not be on tour is opener David Warner, who has pulled out citing a draining playing schedule and the upcoming birth of his first child.

 

Clarke has further added that the more success the team can have leading into that tournament the better, so a full-strength team must be ready to play against two very good teams in tough conditions.
