Watson said he will start bowling by the latter part of IPL 6.

"At the latter part of the IPL, I will be bowling. The plan, for the last three months since I injured myself, has been to slowly bring my bowling workload back up to be able to bowl a few overs during the Champions Trophy and then in the Ashes. Clarke said he is eager to respond to his detractors. "A lot has been said over the last six months over whether I warrant a position in the side as a batsman if I am not bowling � and that's what I am doing at this moment in time. "So I am trying to prove to the selectors and other people that I am one of the top six batsmen in Australia and that I can get picked as a batsman as I have a number of times in the past and that my bowling is just a bonus thing for the team."
