Ponting out of Australia series

Ricky Ponting will miss the three game series at home to Bangladesh for Australia

Ricky Ponting will miss Australia's One-day International Series with Bangladesh in Darwin.

Ponting, who is still recovering from a wrist injury, was not named in Australia's 14-man squad on Friday for the three-match Commonwealth Bank Series starting on August 30.

Doubts still surround the availability of opener Matthew Hayden, who did not play a game on Australia's tour of the West Indies earlier this year due to an Achilles tendon injury, despite him being picked in the squad.

A decision on Hayden's fitness will be made in the next fortnight, Cricket Australia said.

"His progress has been monitored closely by our physiotherapist and doctor and his overall participation in the series will be determined as we get closer to the date," said National Selection Panel chairman Trevor Hohns.

"The NSP has reserved the right to add a 15th player into this squad should this become necessary."

Hayden's absence would leave Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh, who both played well against the West Indies, battling to open the batting.

There were no surprises in the squad, which will be led by Michael Clarke, named by selectors.

Brad Haddin replaces Luke Ronchi after missing the one-dayers in the Caribbean due to a broken finger.

The series against Bangladesh will be followed by the ICC Champions Trophy where Australia will begin their tournament against India on September 13.
